Architecting high-scale backend systems.
I'm a Staff Engineer with 8+ years of experience leading teams to build distributed data platforms that drive massive revenue growth and enable PB-scale analytics.
Revenue Scaled
285x
Re-architected a lead-gen platform, scaling daily revenue from $700 to $200K/day ($45K GP).
ETL Optimization
30x
Reduced a Spark-on-Kubernetes ETL runtime from 1.5 hours to 3 minutes, slashing infra costs by 6x.
API Performance
30K
Built a Rust-based HBase REST API handling 30K QPS bursts with 7-8ms latency for real-time metadata.
The "How"
Platform Architecture & Leadership
Led a 15+ member cross-functional team, directing the evolution of a POC into a high-scale, revenue-critical system. Drove technical vision, system design, and reliability initiatives across Core Backend, Reporting, and Frontend teams.
Performance Engineering (Rust & Spark)
Architected and delivered Spark-on-Kubernetes (30x faster), a Rust-based PII encryption service (100M+ requests), and a Rust-based HBase API (30K QPS). Contributed to OpenObserve, adding Grafana Loki ingestion API support in Rust.
Org-Wide Data Standards
Delivered org-wide ingestion standards (Parquet, Redshift, Druid) adopted at PB-scale. Developed a Schema-Aware Redshift batch connector (7x I/O reduction) and a Druid Parquet patch, unblocking analytics for 100+ users.
Cost & Latency Reduction
Cut data delivery costs by 50% by re-architecting a Kafka -> Firehose sink. Saved ~$7K annually by implementing IP enrichment via HBase, eliminating a costly Redis cluster. Slashed issue detection lag from hours to minutes.
