Senior AI engineer turning complex systems into reliable developer-first platforms and workflow automation.
What I'm looking for
I’m a Senior AI Engineer with 10+ years of experience building developer platforms, AI-powered workflows, healthcare automation systems, enterprise data applications, and cloud-native software. I started my career at Google, where I built production-scale engineering habits in large distributed environments. I’ve consistently focused on turning complex technical problems into reliable, usable software that improves developer experience, operational efficiency, and product quality.
Most recently, I’ve been building AI-powered product and platform features at Resend, a developer-first email infrastructure company. I designed backend APIs and event data models to improve visibility into delivery events, bounce details, webhook activity, domain health, and message status. I also developed dashboard workflows that help developers debug delivery issues faster, while keeping complex infrastructure signals clear and usable.
Earlier, as a founding engineer at Plenful, I helped build an AI-powered healthcare workflow automation platform from the ground up. I delivered full-stack capabilities across document intake, workflow configuration, review queues, task tracking, reporting, and operational dashboards. I contributed AI-assisted and rules-driven workflows that reduced repetitive manual processes and improved consistency for healthcare operations, with strong emphasis on accuracy and traceability.
Before that, I worked as a Full Stack Developer at I.T. Solutions delivering enterprise solutions across BI/data projects, workflow tools, and cloud-based systems. I strengthened my breadth across frontend, backend, integrations, and data-heavy applications using REST APIs and database-driven systems. Across every role, my ethos has been the same: build for reliability, maintainability, and operational clarity—so teams can ship confidently and iterate quickly.
