What I'm looking for

I'm looking to build secure, high-performance systems where I can own services end to end, solve reliability and latency challenges, and work on impactful backend, AI, or networking products.

At Nference, I build production RAG services for healthcare documentation, including chunking pipelines, hybrid dense and BM25 search, re-ranking, and Redis semantic caching for clinical workflows.

I've built authentication and authorization services spanning email, SMS, TOTP, SSO, and password authentication, while enforcing RBAC for sensitive patient data. My reliability work reduced error rates by approximately 95% and improved P50/P95/P99 latency by 3–4×.

Previously at Juniper Networks, I developed system-level software for Branch SRX networking platforms, contributing to high availability, OS upgrades, CloudX telemetry, and cross-platform CLI improvements.
