What I'm looking for

I seek roles building scalable ML infrastructure and backend platforms where I can productionize research, improve reliability and performance, and enable fast experimentation within collaborative engineering teams.

I am a senior ML infrastructure and backend engineer who builds and scales production AI platforms at top-tier technology companies. I specialize in distributed training infrastructure, backend services for model lifecycle, data pipelines, and platform tooling that enable large-scale AI and LLM workloads, and I have a strong statistical foundation from Columbia University.

Across roles at Google, Meta, Apple, Salesforce and earlier startups, I have productionized research advances, improved reliability and performance for multi-tenant ML systems, led performance optimizations for training and inference, and delivered platform tooling and pipelines that accelerate experimentation and model rollout.
