What I'm looking for

I want to own platform and AI systems end-to-end—clean abstractions, strong system design, and measurable reliability—partnering with leadership while mentoring teams and shipping improvements quickly with robust observability and security.

I’m a software engineer who’s spent 10+ years building platforms end-to-end—from observability systems and AI pipelines to compilers and game engines—owning architecture down to production. I’m at my best when I can ship quietly excellent systems that still work well long after I’m done.

Most recently, I built a RAG + agentic AI pipeline from scratch at Alison.AI, including embeddings, vector search, chunking, and autonomous LLM agents that extract creative insights from 10K+ ad creatives/week—saving ~6 hours of manual work per client per day. I’ve scaled onboarding from 5 to 50+/month with an automated ingestion pipeline, moved infrastructure to Terraform on GCP, and partnered with the CTO on roadmap and architecture.
