United StatesWhat I'm looking for
I am a Staff Software Engineer who designs and architects high-scale, production systems that directly impact revenue and user experience. I built Amazon's Feature Experimentation Platform from scratch, now used by 200+ teams and driving significant incremental annual revenue, and led large migrations such as Search Refinement serving 100M+ DAU.
My background spans building HIPAA-compliant data platforms, distributed genome-processing pipelines, and resilient microservice ecosystems on AWS. I prioritize observability, fault tolerance, and developer velocity, mentor engineering teams, and establish standards that reduce incidents and improve delivery cadence.
