About
Engineer with product-minded execution and infrastructure depth.
My background combines industry software engineering experience with graduate work in computer science. I have built SaaS backends, data pipelines, and machine-learning systems that serve production workloads across cloud environments.
Most recently, I worked as a Research Assistant at Boston University, where I helped architect a full-stack ML prediction platform using Next.js, FastAPI, Celery, Triton, Terraform, and Azure Kubernetes Service. I also built production observability and CI/CD workflows to make the platform easier to scale and operate.
Before that, I worked on serverless ETL and geospatial APIs at CLR Analytics, and on multi-tenant SaaS and distributed microservices at KORON Soft. Across these roles, I focused on performance, resilience, and developer efficiency.
I am especially interested in teams solving hard problems in backend engineering, platform infrastructure, cloud systems, and applied AI products.
Strengths
Areas where I can contribute quickly.
Cloud and platform engineering
Deployed and operated workloads on AWS, Azure, and GCP using Docker, Kubernetes, Terraform, Helm, CI/CD automation, and infrastructure patterns that support reliable scaling.
ML platforms and observability
Worked on inference systems, async processing pipelines, and production monitoring with Celery, Triton, OpenTelemetry, Prometheus, Grafana, and Loki.
