Staff Backend Engineer with 12+ years of software engineering experience designing services, data models, pipelines, and evaluation loops for business-critical infrastructure. I have strong fundamentals in system design, debugging, and problem-solving, and I build reliable systems around fragmented, high-value data. I’m proactive about communication—surfacing blockers, asking the right questions, and keeping stakeholders in the loop. I’m also comfortable with experimentation to test ideas, measure results, and iterate quickly on problems no one has solved before.…Staff Backend Engineer with 12+ years of software engineering experience designing services, data models, pipelines, and evaluation loops for business-critical infrastructure.
