What I'm looking for
I’m a Staff Software Engineer with 10+ years building hyper-scale consumer platforms and enterprise AI systems. At Netflix, I scaled the Keystone real-time stream processing platform to handle 2+ trillion events and petabytes of data daily, powering personalization that drives most global viewing.
At Bloomberg, I helped develop and launch ASKB, Bloomberg’s agentic AI conversational interface for the Bloomberg Terminal. I designed multi-agent orchestration that retrieves, analyzes, and generates contextual answers with transparent source attribution and auto-generated BQL code, while integrating BloombergGPT lineage models with enterprise guardrails and retrieval-augmented generation to keep reliability high in a regulated environment.
I also built reusable ASKB workflow templates that cut research time from hours to minutes and developed features unifying interconnected Bloomberg data with firm-proprietary knowledge. I’ve partnered cross-functionally to improve productivity for ~325,000 Terminal subscribers and led technical efforts around secure, personalized querying and intelligent data visualization.
