Staff Software Engineer · Cloud & Platform Engineering

Engineering reliable, scalable systems for global products.

With 13+ years of experience, I build distributed cloud platforms, ML serving systems, and developer infrastructure at scale. I've delivered $3M+ in cost savings, 30% efficiency gains, and 99.99% uptime across mission-critical systems at Walmart, PayPal, Ford, Microsoft, and IBM.

About Me

I specialize in distributed systems, ML serving infrastructure, and developer platform engineering. My recent focus has been on multi-tenant model-serving architecture, inference routing, and financial risk analytics using Java, Kubernetes, AWS, and GCP.

I've led cross-functional teams of up to 10 engineers, established architecture governance adopted across multiple organizations, and driven $3M+ in infrastructure cost reductions and 30% efficiency gains through platform modernization. I combine architecture depth with business acumen: an MBA from the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign (3.95 GPA) and an MS in Computer Science from UT Dallas.
