What I'm looking for

I am looking for a challenging role in a dynamic environment that fosters innovation and growth.

I am a dedicated software engineer with a strong background in building and optimizing data platforms. With a Master's in Computer Science from the University of Wisconsin-Madison and extensive experience in various startups, I have honed my skills in technologies such as GoLang, Rust, and AWS. My journey has been marked by significant contributions to data observability platforms, where I led the development of critical features that enhanced product performance and customer satisfaction.

Throughout my career, I have consistently demonstrated my ability to mentor and lead teams, driving projects from conception to successful implementation. My work at DataPelago and Rubrik involved optimizing complex systems and managing large-scale data operations, resulting in substantial improvements in efficiency and performance. I take pride in my problem-solving skills and my commitment to delivering high-quality solutions that meet the needs of both the business and its customers.
