Engineering Manager | 12+ years Experience | Spark, AWS, Databricks, SQL

I am a high-impact Engineering Leader specializing in the intersection of Scalable Data Systems and Production AI. I thrive in high-growth, product-led environments where the technical bar is high and delivery speed is critical.

Why I’m a fit for both IC and Managerial roles:

• As a Staff Engineer / IC: I am an expert in the Databricks/AWS ecosystem. I have architected real-time pipelines processing 100k+ TPS and led zero-downtime migrations to AWS MSK. I bridge the gap between Data Engineering and GenAI (RAG/LLMs) by building the foundational infrastructure models need to scale.
• As an Engineering Manager: I lead through "Technical Empowerment." I have built squads from 0 to 1, optimized velocity using DORA metrics, and slashed annual operational costs by $600,000 (30%) through strategic FinOps and query tuning.

Core Superpowers:

• Scale: Kafka (MSK), Spark, 10TB+ Lakehouses.
• AI: RAG Pipelines, Vector DBs (Pinecone/Milvus), MLOps.
• Leadership: Team Scaling, Cloud Budgeting, Product Roadmap Alignment.
