Senior software engineer specializing in cloud-native analytics, AI integration, and scalable full-stack systems.
What I'm looking for
I am a senior software engineer with deep experience building cloud-native analytics platforms, distributed systems, and AI-enabled features for large-scale enterprise products.
At Amazon I led architecture and engineering for the next-generation BI platform, modernizing front-end and backend stacks, integrating generative AI, and improving data latency and interactivity for high-volume dashboards.
Previously at Etsy I drove a migration from a legacy monolith to microservices, implemented event-driven pipelines, and delivered search and personalization improvements using ML models and scalable data infrastructure.
I mentor teams on distributed systems and AI integration, champion engineering excellence through automation, CI/CD, observability, and deliver pragmatic, high-impact solutions that improve reliability and user experience.
