About Me
I am a Tech Lead and Engineer specialized in distributed systems, scalable data platforms, and production-grade infrastructure, with a strong academic background in applied mathematics, computer science, machine learning, and network science.
Throughout my career, I have designed, optimized, and operated large-scale systems supporting data-intensive and production-critical workloads across cloud environments. My experience includes distributed data processing, backend platform architecture, orchestration workflows, observability, performance optimization, and reliability engineering for high-volume systems.
My work connects software engineering, data infrastructure, and machine learning systems. I am particularly interested in building reliable platforms around AI applications, including LLM evaluation workflows, AI observability, multi-agent architectures, production ML systems, and scalable data pipelines.
I currently work as a Tech Lead and Engineer focused on distributed data systems, analytics infrastructure, and scalable platform engineering at Brand Guarde.
