What I'm looking for

I seek roles building scalable, observable data systems and product-facing services where I can mentor engineers, collaborate with ML/data teams, and deliver measurable business impact in an engineering-driven culture.

I am a Senior Software Engineer with 10+ years of experience crafting scalable data systems, architecture, and product-facing experiences. I have led ad-ranking and dynamic pricing initiatives at Google that produced multimillion-dollar ARR uplift and built a unified real-time data platform at SpinDance that turned fragmented factory telemetry into actionable insights.

My work spans front-end to back-end and cloud infrastructure: designing high-throughput services, productionizing ML inference, and creating dashboards that cut analysis time dramatically. I prioritize reliability, observability, and developer experience, and I’ve mentored engineers and implemented processes that improved release quality and operational reliability.
