What I'm looking for

I seek roles building scalable AI-driven products where I can architect systems, improve reliability, mentor teams, and drive measurable user impact.

I am a senior full-stack engineer focused on building data-driven products and applied AI solutions that improve decision-making and automate workflows. I specialize in designing scalable systems that surface actionable insights for users and creators.

At Google (YouTube) I architected unified service layers and core backend microservices in Python and Go to process billions of daily events, deploy AI-driven video features, and modernize frontend stacks with React and TypeScript.

Previously at Airbnb I built booking and search backends, integrated payment processing and real-time recommendations, and managed AWS infrastructure and CI/CD to support rapid growth. I emphasize reliability, low-latency systems, and measurable product impact.

I mentor engineers, drive quality initiatives that raise test coverage and reduce incidents, and enjoy turning complex technical challenges into reliable, production-ready features that increase user engagement and adoption.
