What I'm looking for

I seek senior engineering roles building scalable data and ML-backed systems with strong engineering culture, CI/CD, observability, and product collaboration.

I am a Senior Software Engineer with 10+ years of experience obsessed with scalable data systems and clear impact. My craft sits at the intersection of data, architecture, and product experience, where reliability meets usability.

At Google I architected and led large-scale Ads Ranking & Dynamic Pricing systems, serving 40K+ QPS with p99 latency under 100ms, and drove automation that produced an $85M+ annual revenue uplift while improving marketplace efficiency by 22%.

At SpinDance I built a unified data platform that turned fragmented factory telemetry into real-time insight, achieving sub-0.5% data error rates, 99.9% message delivery reliability, and enabling analytics that cut reporting times from days to minutes.

I mentor engineers, establish observability and CI/CD best practices, and collaborate closely with ML, data-science, product, and operations teams to turn complex technical systems into measurable business outcomes.
