I architect autonomous agentic systems that bridge the gap between enterprise data and cognitive intelligence. My path to AI Engineering is rooted in a deep fascination with how systems—both human and digital—reason and act.
Impact & Recognition:
Consistent "Exceeds Expectations" Ratings: Recognized annually for high-velocity execution and architectural leadership.
AI Tiger Team: Selected for an elite cross-functional unit to architect the enterprise-wide standard for agentic design and multi-agent systems. Read about it here: https://www.coinbase.com/blog/building-enterprise-AI-agents-at-Coinbase
Technical Engineering:
Agentic Orchestration: Designed and deployed Python-based microservices using LangGraph to execute complex, stateful AI agents, running in Production using Langchain postgres checkpointing for multiturn, and LangSmith for observability.
Distributed Infrastructure: Built event-driven architectures with Kafka and Golang middleware to bridge internal APIs with agentic reasoning loops.
Frontend & Product: Contributed to Coinbase.com and led the engineering for the Customer Support Portal (React/Next.js), ensuring a seamless, AI-integrated user experience.
Enterprise Lifecycle: Managed the full-stack Salesforce integration, transforming core business data into real-time agentic intelligence.
Impact & Recognition:
Google Spot Award: Recognized for technical excellence in rapidly evolving the YouTube Shorts creator compensation infrastructure.
Technical Engineering:
Monetization Infrastructure: Engineered the contracting flow for the global launch of YouTube Shorts, enabling the first compensation plans for content creators.
High-Scale UI/UX: Developed complex, nested Lightning Web Components (LWC) to override legacy out-of-the-box functionality, creating a streamlined "Wizard" interface for high-velocity contract management.
Architectural Efficiency: Refactored the integration between frontend JavaScript/HTML and Apex controllers, reducing administrative friction and enabling modular updates to the global contracting flow.

Technical Engineering:
Automated Payment Infrastructure: Architected and deployed an end-to-end customer payment gateway, enabling automated direct debits and recurring billing cycles that significantly accelerated revenue collection.
Public-Facing Financial UI: Engineered a secure, customer-facing web UI for users to identify accounts and manage financial transactions, set up reoccurring billing, and bridging the gap between internal databases and customer self-service.
Operational Impact: Transformed a manual billing process into a scalable, automated system, reducing operational overhead and improving the customer payment experience.
Impact & Recognition:
Architectural Turnaround: Brought in as the technical lead to salvage a critical Credit Repair product that had failed two previous production launches. Successfully re-architected the core integration layer and stabilized the platform for its final go-live phase.
Technical Engineering:
API & Data Orchestration: Engineered a complex integration between internal CRM systems and external credit-reporting gateways, enabling real-time data retrieval and multi-way synchronization across distributed databases.
Real-Time Automation: Developed a custom automation layer utilizing WebSockets to integrate third-party dialer platforms, enabling real-time event triggers for agent workflows.
Technical Leadership: Mentored the engineering team through a high-pressure recovery phase, establishing code standards and architectural guardrails that allowed the project to move from "stalled" to "launch-ready."
Impact & Recognition:
Enterprise Migration Lead: Orchestrated a mission-critical data migration for a state department, decoupling a legacy shared environment (13+ agencies) into a dedicated, high-performance architecture.
Technical Engineering:
Large-Scale Data Orchestration: Led the migration and schema transformation of 30M+ records, ensuring data integrity, relationship mapping, and zero-downtime transition from a multi-tenant shared instance.
Consultancy Partnership: Acted as the internal technical lead partnering with external firms to audit, clean, and map legacy automation into modern, scalable system triggers and Lightning Web Components (LWC).
Process Automation: Developed robust backend logic and frontend components to replace legacy cross-agency workflows, resulting in a streamlined, autonomous platform for state operations.
