United StatesWhat I'm looking for
I am a Staff Software Engineer with nine years of experience building scalable full-stack applications, data pipelines, and ML platforms at leading tech companies. I have driven end-to-end projects from ingestion through model serving and UI integration, reducing deployment time and improving observability and reliability.
At Meta I architected an internal feature engineering platform, led API and dashboard development, and owned on-call reliability practices; at Google I built data visualization and analytics products integrating BigQuery and Vertex AI, and earlier I contributed full-stack systems and CI/CD automation at RocketLawyer. I mentor engineers, champion DevOps and IaC practices, and focus on performance, reliability, and measurable product impact.
