What I'm looking for

I seek a senior engineering role in a collaborative, product-focused company where I can build scalable, AI-driven systems, mentor engineers, and drive measurable impact.

I am a Senior Software Engineer with over 10 years of experience building and scaling data-driven, high-impact platforms in both startup and enterprise environments. I excel at taking products from 0 to 1, designing systems end-to-end, and delivering user-focused solutions with measurable impact.

At Google I led system design and architecture for an MVP that scaled to over 25 million active enterprise users, developed low-latency Java microservices with 99.98% uptime, and integrated AI-powered insights using TensorFlow Serving and Vertex AI. Previously at Weave I designed core messaging and telephony APIs, built backend services in C# and Node.js, and pioneered AI-based sentiment detection that improved customer response rates.

I am passionate about leveraging AI, analytics, and real-time systems to solve complex problems, mentor teams, and drive product success. I establish strong CI/CD, testing, and observability practices, collaborate cross-functionally, and enjoy running experiments that materially improve performance and user outcomes.
