Executive Platform & Security Engineering leader specializing in multi-cloud Kubernetes and FinTech

San Diego County, USA18y exp

“Startup-focused infrastructure/security leader who stepped into head of engineering and re-platformed an entire product end-to-end in 3 months to meet launch. In crypto/fintech, recognized the market-data system as an ETL/data product and rebuilt it as a separable, securely accessible platform—prompting inbound interest within a week—while advocating an open-source-first observability stack (Prometheus/Grafana/Loki) to avoid vendor lock-in.”

“NVIDIA engineer who built and shipped a production LLM-powered enterprise knowledge system (summarization, transcription, and Q&A) that cut document retrieval time ~30%. Deep hands-on experience with RAG (FAISS/Pinecone), GPU-accelerated microservices on AWS, and reliability/safety practices (Guardrails AI, prompt A/B testing, canary releases) plus strong MLOps orchestration across Airflow, Step Functions, and Kubernetes GitOps.”

“Backend/full-stack engineer with experience building large-scale systems on Salesforce and eBay, including a sharded Oracle-backed personalization store used by millions of sellers and a Spring Boot microservice that executes scheduled payouts at high volume. Emphasizes production readiness via state-machine-based idempotency, strong observability (Splunk/Elasticsearch/PagerDuty), and extensive Selenium/Sauce Labs automation.”

“Backend/AI engineer currently at Stripe building Minions, an internal LLM-based developer agent that automates code generation, bug fixes, and PR creation. They combine strong production LLM architecture skills with reliability engineering, having improved routine PR merge times by ~40-45%, lowered post-merge bug rates by 12%, and previously built an invoice-processing pipeline that achieved 91% straight-through processing in a B2B payments context.”
