“Engineering leader who modernized infrastructure by migrating a ~100-server co-location setup to AWS/GCP with IaC, auto-scaling, and fault-tolerant design, reducing hardware upgrade burden. Also led a key analytics architecture shift from MySQL to ClickHouse to enable highly granular ad revenue attribution and profitability insights, while scaling the dev org from 2–3 to ~12 with stronger CI/testing and review processes.”

Also owned scaling and reliability of Gmail/Outlook sync, including a Node.js-to-Rails migration and incident response during a Product Hunt launch that generated hundreds of signups and a ~2M-email queue.”
