About
Player-coach engineering leader focused on scalable data security scanning and risk detection in hybrid cloud, owning architecture and core implementation of an incremental/parallel DSPM scanning engine. Shipped production improvements including 60% lower scan latency and 30% fewer false positives, with strong emphasis on correctness under concurrency, multi-tenant observability (SLOs/burn-rate alerts), and disciplined rollout practices (feature flags, shadow scans, canaries).

Key Strengths
- Led redesign of DSPM scanning engine to incremental + parallel scans (60% scan latency improvement, lower cost by scanning only changed data)
- Improved detection quality via versioned, deterministic policy/risk-signature evaluation and normalized findings schema (30% false-positive reduction)
- Strong reliability engineering: defined invariants for correctness under concurrency (idempotency, deterministic partitions, checkpoints)
- Built production-grade observability (tenant-aware metrics, stage SLOs, burn-rate alerts, churn/outlier isolation)
- End-to-end incident ownership: detected duplicate/fluctuating findings, mitigated by disabling parallel path, fixed with deterministic partition ownership + idempotent upserts, added reconciliation and rollout safeguards
- Player-coach leadership (approx. 40% hands-on / 60% leadership) focusing on high-leverage architecture, critical PRs, and incident deep-dives
- Team alignment and development: quarterly technical priorities tied to product goals, subsystem ownership for seniors, structured 1:1s, mentoring via pairing/design reviews/PRs
