What I'm looking for

I seek senior engineering roles building scalable data and GenAI systems with hands-on MLOps, product ownership, mentoring responsibilities, and an agile, research-driven culture focused on impact and rapid experimentation.

I have seven years of experience in software development, open-source contribution, and machine learning, and I excel at owning end-to-end product design in agile environments.

At Edra Labs I scaled a data platform (UDaaS) that scrapes 1M+ web pages and delivers 10M+ structured datapoints, design high-level architectures for generative AI and LLM systems, and mentor teams on system design and AI frameworks. Previously I led MLOps and backend work that reduced deployment time by 25% and contributed safety features that helped decrease incidents by 5%.

I contribute to open-source projects, have publications and a Best Paper award, and enjoy combining pragmatic engineering with rapid experimentation to build reliable, scalable products.
