What I'm looking for

I seek senior technical roles to lead architecture and build/scale distributed data and real-time systems, drive 0→1 prototypes, modernize legacy platforms, and deliver ML/data-driven product impact in cross-functional teams.

I am a senior software engineer and architect who builds, scales, and optimizes distributed backend platforms for datalake and real-time, data-driven systems across AdTech, logistics, telematics and e-commerce. I lead architecture, design and implementation across teams and deliver rapid prototypes and 0→1 MVPs.

I have driven migrations and platform modernizations, including moving upsert and GDPR deletion workflows from MapReduce/Gobblin to stream (Flink) and batch (Spark) using Apache Iceberg, and implementing CDC event streaming upserts. I built real-time pricing engines, telematics and driver-scoring platforms, Realtime Feature Extraction for ML, and high-scale cohort and serving systems for AdTech.

I excel at scaling services, redesigning and optimizing legacy products, and operationalizing MLOps and feature pipelines. I enjoy leading cross-functional teams to deliver resilient, observable production systems that enable data-driven product outcomes.
