What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a team where I can own complex backend/full-stack systems end to end—especially AI infrastructure—focused on latency reduction, automation, and measurable impact across multiple groups.

I’m a Staff Software Engineer with 10+ years across Apple, Disney, and CAA, where I focus on backend and full-stack systems from scoping through production ownership. My work is driven by one consistent goal: cut latency, remove manual work, and build systems end to end instead of handing them off half-built.

At CAA, I designed and built a Go RAG system over thousands of internal CMS pages so engineers can self-serve instead of routing questions to a platform team. I owned the full pipeline—ingestion, chunking, embedding, and retrieval—and built supporting orchestration to chain validation, publishing, and delivery while also migrating and improving the localized web architecture with Next.js and TypeScript.

Previously, at Apple, I led Crewhub across 5+ departments and delivered high-concurrency Go microservices for real-time asset tracking, improving throughput and lowering p99 latency at peak load. Earlier at Disney, I owned mission-critical Java and SQL ERP integrations and built validation and ETL frameworks to keep large-scale employee data consistent with faster compliance reporting. I bring the same mindset everywhere: translate messy cross-team requests into scoped, reliable systems that teams can adopt and depend on.
