I specialize in bridging the gap between cutting-edge AI research and scalable, real-world production systems. My career has spanned massive enterprises, Big Tech, and the zero-to-one startup phase. At Meta, I focus on high-impact ML solutions, while my work at Context Labs centers on advanced AI architectures, agentic workflows, and open-source model fine-tuning. Prior to this, I was a Software Engineer at Walmart, where I built and scaled complex distributed systems and Kafka setups capable of processing over 1.3 billion daily transactions, boosting deployment efficiency by 40%. Why I’m here on Topmate: I’ve navigated the exact transitions many engineers are trying to make right now: moving from backend SWE to Machine Learning, scaling the ladder to Senior/E5 levels, and balancing Big Tech with entrepreneurial building. I offer direct, actionable, and honest feedback. Whether you need a brutal-but-fair mock interview, a resume teardown that gets past ATS and recruiters, or strategic advice on your next career move, let’s connect.
