What I'm looking for

I'm looking to build AI-ready data foundations, semantic models, and scalable platforms that improve data quality, compliance, and decision-making across complex organizations.

At Meta, I lead data platform infrastructure, canonical modeling, and enterprise AI-readiness initiatives for Youth Products and Age Org.

I coordinated the AI4P Enterprise Initiative's Data Infrastructure Readiness workstream, establishing metadata standards for agentic AI integration and improving LLM answer quality by reducing semantic drift. I also integrated Claude Code and Claude Skills to prototype semantic models, plugins, and automated engineering workflows.

I designed a Canonical Data Asset framework and modernized legacy pipelines for compliance, audit readiness, and query performance. I directed a migration affecting 495M+ users, achieving a greater than 99.99% match rate and reducing unknown attributes by 71.6% across 330k+ downstream nodes.

Earlier, I built recommendation, NLP, and predictive ML models at METIS, and architected 10Gbps+ network test applications at Spirent Communications. My foundation spans Python, SQL, Spark, distributed systems, high-performance packet streams, and cross-functional technical leadership.
