## Work Experience
### Software Engineer @ Adaptive Security
Jan 2025 – Present | New York, New York, United States

### Software Engineer @ Amazon
Jan 2021 – Jan 2025 | New York, New York, United States
At Prime Video I engineered large-scale personalization and retrieval systems powering millions of transactions per second across global storefronts. I conceived a patent-pending recommendation strategy, aligned product, science, and engineering teams, and built the DynamoDB-based online serving architecture paired with Spark-trained contextual bandits—driving the largest subscription-start increase in PV history (~8M annually).

I delivered integrity-critical recommendation systems (Top 10 charts, full-catalog embedding scoring), and scaled nearest-neighbor retrieval using FAISS. I also identified and resolved distributed caching flaws that saved millions in infra costs, implemented cross-region failover with stronger freshness guarantees, and integrated backend support for early LLM-based semantic grouping.

### Senior Software Designer @ March Networks
Jan 2020 – Jan 2021 | Ottawa, Ontario, Canada
Since joining March Networks, I accelerated the company’s analytics initiatives and contributed to the development of core technologies and architectures that underpin their video analytics platform. I trained, tuned, and optimized neural networks for real-time inference on edge devices such as NVIDIA Jetson and Ambarella CVflow, demonstrating their impact on critical business use cases. I also led end-to-end design and development of computer vision systems for physical security applications, spanning model development, embedded deployment, and cloud-based search workflows.

### Software Engineering Contractor @ MediaJel
Jan 2018 – Jan 2021
I led the design and development of systems that continue to deliver value to clients in the advertising and data analytics space. My work included building robust data-ingestion pipelines, designing distributed computing workflows to generate high-quality business insights, and implementing CI/CD and Kubernetes-based deployment processes. I also expanded my leadership capabilities by hiring and managing small engineering teams to unify data platforms, unlock value from large impression and location datasets, and deliver reliable, user-facing technology.

### Software Developer @ Tehama
Jan 2017 – Jan 2018
For my second internship at Pythian, I returned with the need to learn an entirely new technology stack to contribute to their early startup, now a spin-off company known as "Tehama". I was quickly introduced to Nodejs, cloud technologies, and full-stack application development. After a few months, I became a key contributor to many of the business critical components of the platform.

### Tutor @ Oxford Learning Centres Inc.
Jan 2016 – Jan 2017 | Ottawa, Canada Area
As one of the most fulfilling jobs I have ever held, I helped many students achieve their goals with regards to their education in both STEM and core curriculum courses. I learned the importance of clear communication and patience, which I carry with me in all my future endeavors.

### Software Developer @ Pythian
Jan 2015 – Jan 2016 | Ottawa, Ontario, Canada
My first internship was a place where I developed long lasting friendships and industry connections that I am grateful for to this day. The Adminiscope platform, based on virtual appliances written in C, was my first introduction to writing enterprise-level software with rigid reliability requirements. I learned some of the fundamentals of effective software development including testing, error-handling, and debugging. These are some of essential tools I use to effectively solve problems from first principles.

### Customer Service Representative @ Walmart
Jan 2011 – Jan 2013 | Ottawa, Ontario, Canada
My introduction to the workplace taught me the value of hard work and the all-mighty dollar. Furthermore, my interpersonal and conflict resolution skills had to be continuously improved to deal with the wide variety of personalities that can be encountered as a customer service representative in big-box retail environments.
