What I'm looking for

I want to build and scale AI-enabled, cloud-native platforms—secure, observable, and reliable. I’m excited by distributed systems, event-driven architectures, and Kubernetes-based performance improvements in fast-moving teams.

I’m a Senior Full Stack AI Engineer with 15+ years designing and scaling distributed backend systems, cloud-native infrastructure, and AI-enabled platforms. I focus on production-grade APIs and reliable orchestration for data-intensive, AI-driven applications.

In my recent role as a Senior Backend & AI Infrastructure Engineer at CAI International Inc, I designed and built scalable backend services and distributed systems using Python, Go, and TypeScript for AI-enabled products and real-time data workflows. I developed REST and gRPC APIs for AI inference and workflow orchestration, implemented model integration pipelines and event-driven processing, and improved reliability and throughput with Kubernetes-based autoscaling and asynchronous event processing.

I’ve also delivered distributed backend systems at scale at Gameloft and built AI workflow automation and SaaS platforms at Code Particle Inc. Across roles, I’ve strengthened observability with logging, metrics, and distributed tracing, optimized performance through concurrency tuning and database optimization, and supported secure authentication/authorization—always aiming for operational reliability, automation, and fast execution.
