What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a team where I can own full-stack + backend orchestration, build agentic and GPU-heavy systems, and ship durable, event-driven infrastructure—preferably in a fast-moving product environment with real ownership.

I build end-to-end systems that stay reliable under real-world failure: clean APIs/CLI layers for agent execution, orchestration backends for multi-agent workflows, and monitoring that turns internal traces into actionable decisions. I’ve repeatedly taken over non-functional or evolving codebases and rebuilt foundations so teams can ship faster with confidence.

As a Founding Engineer, I designed GPU AI deployment lifecycles across multiple providers, implemented lease balancing and billing to prevent ghost instances, and delivered real-time inference playground experiences. I’m equally comfortable with event-driven architectures, workflow orchestration without fragile dependencies, and production-grade infrastructure—from migrations to durable CI/CD pipelines.
