Engineering Manager and hands-on technical leader with 8+ years building and scaling backend systems. I set technical direction, grow engineering teams, and deliver high-reliability platform infrastructure.
- Define technical strategy for backend and platform systems — from architecture decisions to production operations
- Architect and operate distributed systems, microservices, and event-driven pipelines at scale
- Hands-on in Go and Python: writing, reviewing, and owning critical systems end-to-end
- Build real-time voice and AI agent systems on LiveKit — SIP/PSTN calling, WebRTC media, and the tooling to operate and load-test them
- Champion observability, clean architecture, and engineering practices that raise the whole team's baseline
- Setting technical direction and growing senior engineers into tech leads
- Driving platform reliability improvements and reducing toil across the delivery pipeline
- Building voice AI agents and call-center infrastructure on LiveKit and SIP
- Integrating AI tooling into engineering workflows to amplify team throughput
- Deepening expertise in Kafka-based event streaming and high-throughput data pipelines
