What I'm looking for

I'm looking to build impactful backend, AI, and cloud infrastructure products with distributed teams, while leading delivery, mentoring engineers, and solving production-scale technical challenges.

I've built production backend, AI, and cloud platforms across Metifi, Burna, and Gapfilm. At Metifi, I lead delivery for a digital vehicle marketplace and built backend services and AWS pipelines for Colourlab.

At Burna, I've shipped four OpenStack products, including private cloud, Swift object storage, Baremetal-as-a-Service, and GPU-as-a-Service. I operate Ceph-backed cloud infrastructure, deploy multi-node OpenStack with Kolla-Ansible, and contribute upstream to OpenStack Kolla and Kolla-Ansible.

At Gapfilm, I launched an LLM assistant that drove 50 new signups per day and automated roughly 900 user comments daily. I've also led nine engineers as CTO at Illustory, built AI products for artists and writers, and mentor backend and AI engineers.
