Staff Platform Engineer with 14+ years in distributed systems and cloud infrastructure. I design scalable, resilient, and cost-efficient platforms for data and compute workloads. At Rialtic I built a Go-based pipeline that processed millions of records daily (10× throughput gain) and engineered distributed batch systems on EKS. Before that I founded Shipmile, grew it to a 25-member team and $2M ARR, and built an event-driven backend handling 50k+ daily shipments. Earlier roles include Morgan Stanley (low-latency search over 1TB dataset at <5ms p99) and Meditab (leading a web-stack migration).

Side projects include Conv-SNN in Rust (96.7% accuracy, 2× efficiency vs ANN), a profitable RL-based trading engine, and a CUDA Bitcoin finder achieving 285× speedup. I enjoy building efficient distributed systems, performance profiling, and high-throughput data pipelines. Open to Staff+ roles at startups or scale-ups where infrastructure and system design are critical.
