What I'm looking for

I’m interested in robust and secure software development, distributed systems, and machine learning.

At BHFT, I develop infrastructure for an algorithmic trading platform using an actor-based approach. I implemented a distributed authorization service with audit functionality and introduced a telemetry proxy that routes queries according to policies.

At Eloe Inc, I worked on a replicated accounting ledger database targeting 100,000+ transactions per second. I developed a custom I/O driver and deterministic replication protocol.

At RingCentral, I developed Rust speech-recognition and Meeting Notes backend services and experimented with machine-learning training infrastructure. I also worked on a Rust streaming inference service for language detection.

Across earlier work, I built distributed image-recognition infrastructure at Intelligence Retail and a real-time clickstream pipeline at Conde Nast. I’m interested in robust, secure software, distributed systems, and machine learning.
