I'm a Senior Software Engineer and Tech Lead with over a decade of experience in software engineering, distributed systems, and AI — across Amazon, Microsoft, and Intel. But what I'm most passionate about is helping people grow. I've mentored engineers at every stage — from interns figuring out their first system design to mid-level engineers stepping into leadership for the first time. I've seen what it takes to go from "I'm not sure I belong here" to shipping something you're genuinely proud of. That journey is what I'm here to support. Whether you're breaking into the industry, navigating a career pivot, leveling up from mid to senior, or learning how to lead a team — I'd love to be a thinking partner for you. Here's what I can help you with: Software engineering and distributed systems design Cloud-native architecture and AI integration Advertising technology and real-time systems at scale Career growth — from early-career to tech lead and beyond Technical leadership, team dynamics, and stakeholder communication Startup technical strategy and early-stage decision-making My approach is practical and personalized. I'll start by understanding where you are and where you want to go — and we'll build from there. No generic advice, just honest conversation grounded in real experience. Let's connect. I'd love to hear what you're working on.
