About Me
A bit about who I am and what I do.
I build the systems that make data and AI usable in production — distributed pipelines, LLM gateways, retrieval infrastructure, and the observability around them. 3+ years of experience, mostly in fintech, where reliability and correctness aren't optional.
Currently at STEM Solutions LLC, building enterprise data-platform and AI systems for a leading financial-services firm: a distributed job-execution platform running thousands of pipelines, a firm-wide analytics service, and data-governance tooling — plus the RAG, multi-model gateway, and tool-using agent behind internal AI assistants, the access-control automation that provisions them, and the CI/CD and testing that ship it all. Previously at Visa, working on the critical path of real-time risk decisioning.
I hold an M.S. in Data Science from Stevens Institute of Technology. I'm open to Senior Software Engineer and AI Engineer roles — especially problems at the intersection of distributed systems, developer platforms, and production LLM infrastructure.

Work Experience
Companies and teams I've shipped with.
Software Engineer — Data Platform & AI
Current- ▸Built a distributed job-execution platform running 6,000+ data pipelines (273K+ runs/week) for a leading financial-services firm: a scheduler dispatches to SQS and KEDA autoscales worker pods on queue depth for fault-isolated parallel execution, monitored via health checks and Grafana dashboards.
- ▸Designed an enterprise analytics service — the single source of truth for product usage — a pluggable instrumentation layer capturing every click and API mutation as session events, streamed via SQS → S3 → Snowpipe → Snowflake to power adoption and usage reporting across all apps.
Software Engineer — Risk Engineering
- ▸Cut tail latency 30% on the critical path of a real-time risk-decisioning pipeline (Python, Kafka) with asyncio fan-out and request batching, while shipping 6 transaction-enrichment features into the authorization flow; hardened the service against cascading failures with circuit breakers, timeouts, and standardized error handling on the on-call rotation.
- ▸Built a rule versioning and rollback framework for a tier-1 fraud-decisioning service (200 configurable rules per transaction), letting Risk Strategy teams deploy and revert changes without engineering releases and cutting turnaround from several days to under 30 minutes.
Software Engineer
- ▸Built and maintained 25+ REST APIs (Python, Django, PostgreSQL) for a Fortune 500 bank's loan-origination platform, cutting response latency 38% through query-plan optimization, N+1 elimination, and ORM-level caching.
- ▸Replaced a 12-hour nightly batch with a Kafka-backed reconciliation service — cutting data freshness from T+1 to under 5 minutes and reducing reconciliation tickets from 10/week to 2/week via automated mismatch detection and alerting.

Clausa
Agent-driven data observability — evidence-grounded root-cause analysis for data-quality incidents
A self-hostable data-observability platform where a LangGraph agent investigates warehouse anomalies and returns root-cause hypotheses grounded in verifiable evidence — profiling stats, lineage, pipeline runs, and schema changes. A verifier rejects any hypothesis not backed by real tool results, so the agent can't speculate its way to an answer.
