Tech lead and full-stack engineer specializing in large-scale LLM systems and cloud-native architectures.
What I'm looking for
I am a hands-on Tech Lead and full-stack engineer with deep experience building and shipping large-scale LLM systems, microservices, and cloud-native applications across Google, Goldman Sachs, Cisco, and other organizations. I drive core architecture, release management, and scalable deployments using Python, C++, Java, Kotlin, Spring Boot, and modern frontend frameworks while mentoring engineers and improving model safety, reliability, and observability.
My background spans backend systems, distributed services, Web3 and smart contracts, frontend development, and DevOps practices—delivering production-ready pipelines, CI/CD, containerized deployments, and infrastructure-as-code. I value cross-functional collaboration with PMs, research scientists, and infra teams to release reliable products, and I focus on measurable performance, security, and developer productivity gains.
