What I'm looking for

I'm looking to own high-impact AI and backend systems end to end, especially LLM infrastructure, distributed systems, and performance-critical products where I can improve delivery speed, reliability, and unit economics.

I've built production AI and backend systems for Studio Management, Certa, and Level AI, most recently leading a venture studio as Cofounder and CTO. At Studio Management, I built EmailZap end-to-end, processing 10K+ emails daily across 1,000+ active users, improving email classification accuracy from 88% to 98%, and reducing LLM inference costs by 87%.

At Certa, I optimized a multi-tenant DAG workflow engine 200x through PostgreSQL diagnosis and dynamic programming, while supporting enterprise onboarding for clients including Walmart and Boeing. I own systems end to end—from query plans, distributed architecture, and async processing to deploy pipelines, observability, and AI-assisted engineering workflows.
