## Work Experience
### Staff Software Engineer - AI Infra @ LinkedIn
Jan 2019 – Present | San Francisco Bay Area
Making AI model deployments observable at LinkedIn.

IRP runs the infrastructure behind search and ranking. When model rollouts fail here, search quality degrades for members.

As an observability lead, I’m building the substrate that explains what happened and why: persistent deployment timelines for multi-container (K8s) stateful apps (typically inference and ingestion container clusters), a context API designed for both dashboards and AI agents, and the telemetry layer powering alert intelligence.

Humans debug it today. Agents will debug it soon.

### Principal Software Engineer @ Oracle
Jan 2012 – Jan 2019
Part of team developing and supporting features for Oracle's first homegrown Infiniband product line (EDR 100Gbps): SDN software stack, host drivers, adapters and switches.
