SYSTEMS
BUILDERBUILDER

16+ years building production systems from scratch at startups where "that's not my job" isn't in the vocabulary. Deep expertise in Python, distributed systems, and making disparate services play nicely together.

Currently a Staff Software Engineer at DataRobot. Previously architected Jozu's core platform from zero — event sink, REST API, message bus, and processing pipeline for AI model artifacts. Before that, 7+ years at PacketFabric building everything from billing integrations to Neo4j network visualization.

I volunteer for the gnarly debugging sessions, advocate for boring technology choices that age well, and believe Python is perfectly capable of running production microservices — despite what the Go evangelists say.

Senior Backend Engineer
Jozu (AI/MLOps) — full-stack backend ownership
Built the entire backend infrastructure from scratch — FastAPI, SQLAlchemy, Kubernetes, ArgoCD. Zero-to-production in a high-velocity AI startup environment.

Various — building things that scale
Progressed from feature work to owning systems. Developed deep fluency in distributed architecture, cloud infrastructure, and the unglamorous but essential craft of keeping things running at 3am.
