I build high-availability backend, data, and AI personalization systems for global consumer platforms.

At Spotify, I lead backend architecture for AI-driven personalization, building Java and Scala microservices for generative playlist expansion and prompted discovery serving 600M MAUs. I own batch and streaming pipelines processing billions of events daily and helped reduce personalization skip rates by 6.8%.

Previously, I scaled real-time personalization and Spotify Wrapped systems, built Alexa backend services at Amazon for 50M+ users, and contributed to Robinhood Gold’s trading platform. I focus on reliable distributed systems, production infrastructure, experimentation, and mentoring engineers while improving deployment speed, observability, and uptime.
