I am a senior software engineer specializing in backend, ML, systems, and high-performance Rust/Python solutions.
What I'm looking for
I am a senior software engineer focused on backend, systems, and machine learning, building high-performance distributed systems using Rust, Python, and cloud-native technologies.
I've led engineering teams to Series-A, developed LLM inference engine components with SIMD and CUDA optimizations, and built a distributed SQL database implementing Raft, MVCC, and pluggable storage engines.
I deliver measurable impact — reducing processing times by 40%, cutting AWS costs by 20%, and migrating services to serverless for scale and cost efficiency — while contributing to open-source tooling and improving developer experience.
