What I'm looking for

I seek senior engineering roles where I can lead architecture for cloud-native, data-driven systems, mentor teams, and deliver measurable reliability and scalability gains in a collaborative, autonomous culture.

I am a detail-oriented staff full-stack engineer with extensive experience designing and implementing large-scale, cloud-native distributed systems and data platforms. I have led architecture and tech-lead efforts, built cell-aware pipelines and multi-tenant services using Spark, Kafka, Snowflake, Go, Node.js, Python, and React, and improved data freshness and latency for high-demand production systems.

I drive reliability, automation, and developer productivity through infrastructure-as-code, CI/CD, and standardized service frameworks, and I mentor engineers to raise cross-team engineering practices. My work has delivered measurable outcomes such as a 70% improvement in data freshness and over 40% reduction in cross-cell latency while enabling autonomous regional deployments.
