What I'm looking for

I seek senior engineering roles designing cloud-native, data/graph platforms or MLOps systems, emphasizing elegant architecture, low-latency services, and mentorship in collaborative, data-driven teams.

I am a senior software engineer focused on graph data platforms, domain-driven design, and building low-latency, fault-tolerant microservices and graph+ML pipelines that deliver strategic insights, cost savings, and faster product delivery.

I have led cloud-native modernizations, migrated legacy microservices to Kubernetes and Istio, designed secure service meshes and identity flows, and built MLOps systems that improved inference throughput and reduced costs while improving product metrics.
