What I'm looking for

I'm looking to build trusted, high-performance cloud-native products where distributed systems, AI infrastructure, and product needs come together. I value work that improves scalability, reliability, explainability, and real user outcomes.

At Netflix, I lead development of a cloud-native multi-agent personalization platform on AWS, using streaming data pipelines, Rust and Go microservices, Python AI orchestration, embedding retrieval, and low-latency inference to power recommendation experiences at scale.

I've also built real-time risk and fraud decisioning systems at Guidewire and cloud media processing platforms at Dolby. My work has improved media processing latency by 45%, throughput by 3x, buffering rates by 25%, and deployment frequency by 5x.

Across enterprise environments, I translate product and business needs into reliable, scalable systems that are performant, explainable, and trusted by the teams who use them.
