Senior Software Engineer specializing in LLM infrastructure and AI inference platforms

New York, NY8y exp

“Google Workspace AI engineer who owned major AI assistant infrastructure end-to-end: React/TypeScript UI, a Node.js context-aggregation gateway on Cloud Run, and a Go inference layer on GKE serving Gemini. Built and productionized Gmail RAG + agentic workflows with rigorous evals and guardrails, and has a strong track record of measurable impact (latency, engagement, acceptance-rate lifts) and zero-incident migrations using feature flags/strangler patterns across multiple ML teams.”

“Senior engineer (8 years) with experience at Facebook/Meta and Apple, spanning design tooling and XR/enterprise device experiences. Built the Origami component marketplace end-to-end (packaging node logic + metadata, SQL/JSON storage, filtering/search, local caching) with versioning and forward-compatibility decisions, and has a strong track record of UX-focused robustness improvements and safe rollouts via feature flags and telemetry.”
