What I'm looking for

I seek senior platform or AI infrastructure roles where I can architect scalable, reliable systems, mentor engineers, and drive high-impact product and performance improvements.

I am a Staff Software Engineer with 10+ years building and architecting large-scale distributed systems and AI platforms at Google and Salesforce. I have owned platform architecture for Google Search AI Overviews, delivering LLM-powered ranking and summarization systems at 100M+ daily query scale with strict availability SLOs.

I design and implement end-to-end solutions spanning data ingestion, streaming pipelines, microservices, inference platforms, CI/CD, and frontend delivery. I mentor senior engineers, drive reliability and performance improvements, and consistently reduce latency, downtime, and incident resolution time through pragmatic engineering and automation.
