Experience

Principal-level engineer and tech lead with over ten years building production infrastructure and AI systems at Google, Nuro, and early-stage startups.

I know Linux and Unix-based operating systems deeply, from kernel work up through security, large-scale message passing, cloud and distributed systems, and robotics. These days I spend most of my time on LLM pipelines, agents, and model serving. I also do full-stack web and mobile development, and I’m always eager to learn new technologies.

2024–now
E-Gen
Principal Application ML Architect, Remote, USA. Feb 2024 to present
- Led the design and deployment of LLM pipelines that automate document analysis, risk assessment, and customer interaction for one of the largest mortgage underwriters in the US.
- Doubled underwriter output per day and cut the error rate from 20% to 1% by bringing LLMs into those workflows.
- Built end-to-end LLM serving for high-throughput, real-time document processing on GCP, containerized and horizontally scaled.
- Designed and built agent-first, multi-tenant infrastructure for a medical data provider.
- Built an internal AI engineering agent, used company-wide, that takes engineering requests from ticket to shipped change.
- Owned the cloud platform for an AI-driven claims product, migrating 15+ services across three environments to infrastructure-as-code with zero data loss.
- Built gated, credential-free delivery pipelines and standardized trunk-based releases, versioning, and failure alerting across every repository.
- Led a full-stack modernization (UI, serverless backend, SDKs, runtime) and stood up CI testing so every change gets a real pass/fail signal.
- Shipped right-to-deletion for AI data across relational, document, and vector stores, with role-based access and lifecycle tests.
