Control plane

Staff engineer in production

I build platforms that stay reliable when the numbers get uncomfortable.

I design cloud platforms, ML infrastructure, and distributed systems that operate at meaningful scale. My work connects architecture decisions to the outcomes that matter: availability, latency, cost, and engineering velocity.

Selected systems

Four records where architectural decisions produced measurable operating results.

SYS-01 / Active record

Multi-tenant ML serving for Walmart Search

Production

Modernized model serving for hundreds of millions of daily search queries while improving isolation, latency, and availability.

Context
Single-tenant search clusters limited resource efficiency and made consistent multi-locale operation harder.
Decision
Designed secure multi-tenant Kubernetes model serving with multi-tier inference routing and shared query normalization.
Scale
Hundreds of millions of daily queries across multi-tenant, multi-locale production environments.
Outcome
99.9% availability and 25% lower inference latency, with architecture patterns adopted across Search teams.

SYS-02 / Historical record

Financial risk reporting at transaction scale

Delivered

Built the reporting and analytics foundation used for fraud detection and chargeback analysis across a high-volume payments environment.

Context
Risk teams needed faster, more reliable access to transaction data across reporting, analytics, and operational workflows.
Decision
Engineered a GCP reporting platform, introduced Databricks analytics, migrated core workflows to DynamoDB, and modernized the data layer.
Scale
More than 10 million daily transactions supporting fraud detection and chargeback analytics.
Outcome
30% analytics efficiency gain, 30% lower data cost, and a 50% faster feature-to-production lifecycle.

SYS-03 / Historical record

Self-service Azure provisioning for Ford

Delivered

Turned subscription creation, access control, and cloud billing into a governed self-service platform for engineering teams.

Context
Cloud subscription and budget workflows were too manual to support a large engineering organization consistently.
Decision
Architected the Azure Right-to-Provision service, TypeScript RBAC, automated billing, and the Cloud Portal 2.0 developer experience.
Scale
Automated cloud access and budget management for more than 5,000 engineers.
Outcome
A governed self-service path to cloud resources, supported by a Kafka-based observability system that reduced incident detection time.

SYS-04 / Historical record

Observability across IBM Cloud infrastructure

Delivered

Led monitoring, alerting, and logging systems supporting a large global cloud footprint and strict incident response expectations.

Context
Infrastructure teams needed consistent monitoring and fast escalation across a globally distributed production environment.
Decision
Led monitoring across Icinga, Grafana, and PagerDuty, and built a Logstash, Kafka, Elasticsearch, and Kibana logging pipeline.
Scale
50+ data centers, 10,000 servers, and 500 TB/day of log data.
Outcome
99.99% uptime and analysis that informed more than $3M in infrastructure cost reductions.

Portfolio / Profile

Engineer, operator, teacher

I am a Staff Software Engineer with 13+ years of experience building systems that sit underneath products and engineering teams. My work spans ML serving at Walmart, financial risk infrastructure at PayPal, cloud provisioning at Ford, and global observability at IBM.

I care about the complete operating story: architecture, cost, reliability, developer experience, and the people who inherit the system. That has led me to architecture governance, cross-team training, and technical mentorship alongside hands-on engineering.
