Leading Platform Engineering at Brain Co., responsible for the core infrastructure, developer platform, and shared systems underpinning the company’s AI products.

Set the technical vision for platform capabilities across cloud architecture, security, reliability, and developer experience, while managing and mentoring a growing team of engineers. Partner closely with product, research, and leadership to enable rapid, safe product development and turn platform leverage into a durable competitive advantage.

First engineer at Brain Co, where I built the company's earliest AI products and MVPs, a few of which have since grown into products used by some of the world's most important institutions. Worked across the full stack and infrastructure, from distributed backend systems to ML integration and customer deployments.

Played a pivotal role in shaping Brain Co's engineering culture, establishing our technical standards, and laying the architectural groundwork for the company's AI platform, secure-by-default cloud architecture, and development velocity. Helped scale the team from zero to the current high-performing engineering org.

Lead and manager of Sprig’s backend / platform / data team, overseeing the development and maintenance of the Sprig's backend services and data platform that processes billions of requests daily. I set the vision and strategic direction for platform and backend engineering, work with the product team on the roadmap, manage engineers while also actively contributing to the day-to-day work and mentoring people on the team. The tech stack consists of Go, Node.js, Kafka, PostgreSQL, ClickHouse, Redis, Bazel, Kubernetes, and AWS.

I was a founding engineer at Elotl, a startup in the cloud infrastructure and tooling space. During my tenure I built highly scalable backend systems on AWS using Go, running on different flavors of Kubernetes, and making sure they scaled reliably and in a cost efficient manner. I also worked directly with the founder, helping to scale the business and meet the needs of our customers. I became a regular contributor of the open-source virtual-kubelet project (more than 4000 starts on GitHub) and part of the virtual-kubelet maintainer team.

I led the Sauce Connect and Cloud teams, mentoring team members and acting as the architect of these teams.
