I build AI infrastructure and distributed platforms that reduce cost and scale.

At Dynamic Yield, a Mastercard company, I set architecture and engineering standards for roughly 25 engineers and built the AI platform behind LLM and agentic features used by global enterprise brands and 30 mid-market customers.

I stay hands-on with Python, LangChain, LangGraph, Kafka, Redis, Elasticsearch, and AWS, designing retrieval, orchestration, evaluation, and guardrails. I’ve also cut backend spend by roughly 50%, saving more than $100,000 annually without affecting latency.

I’ve led teams, grown engineers into senior and lead roles, and shipped products end to end. Outside my work, I built and launched TipYourTone, an AI interior design app with more than 1,000 downloads and paying subscribers.
