What I'm looking for

I seek a senior engineering role integrating AI into scalable products, with cross-functional collaboration, mentorship opportunities, and measurable user impact.

I am a senior software engineer with 10 years of experience delivering AI-driven, high-performance systems at companies like Notion, Amazon, and Spotify. I combine full-stack expertise with backend infrastructure and LLM integration to ship reliable, user-focused products.

At Notion I led AI feature development that reached over 5M users within three months and architected an AI orchestration system handling 20M+ daily interactions with sub-300ms latency. I emphasize observable, cost-efficient designs and cross-functional collaboration to improve product metrics and reduce operational overhead.

Previously at Amazon I delivered scalable front-end and backend solutions for millions of customers, built async message systems, and enhanced authentication and deployment patterns. At Spotify I developed personalized recommendation backends, event streaming, and CI/CD improvements that significantly reduced latency and deploy times.

I enjoy mentoring engineers, running experiments to improve product metrics, and building modular, testable systems. I seek roles where I can continue to integrate state-of-the-art AI into large-scale products while driving measurable user and business impact.
