What I'm looking for

I’m looking for roles where I can build and ship production-grade distributed backends—especially AI-enabled services—while owning reliability, observability, and cloud infrastructure migrations with a bias toward zero-downtime delivery.

I’m a Staff Engineer focused on distributed systems and AI-enabled backend platforms. I develop proof-of-concept and production-ready solutions that translate directly into measurable business value, efficiency gains, and better user experiences.

In my current role, I support AI use cases through LLM APIs and end-to-end agentic workflows, including prompt orchestration, tool calling, workflow routing, contextual enrichment, and response validation. I build reliable backend services using Java, Spring Boot, REST APIs, microservices, and event-driven architecture with Kafka and SQS.

I also lead infrastructure modernization—migrating and evolving systems on OCI and Kubernetes with Terraform—aiming for scalable, zero-downtime deployments.

Previously, I built and maintained large distributed components for Medallia’s cloud using Python and FastAPI, helping enterprise customers accelerate time-to-engage. I’ve also delivered DevOps automation, observability, and production operations improvements—reducing onboarding effort, strengthening incident readiness, and modernizing payment integrations for high-scale, always-on systems.
