Work Experience

Senior Software Engineer at Databricks
January 1, 2022 - Present
Designed and built high-performance, product-facing applications using React and TypeScript to enable users to explore, query, and manage large-scale datasets across distributed cloud environments. Partnered with product and design to streamline data discovery, dataset management, and AI-powered search for multimodal pipelines. Implemented backend services in Python and Java (Spring Boot) supporting scalable metadata ingestion, indexing, and retrieval for AI-driven features. Optimized frontend rendering and backend API performance by profiling components, caching, and tuning PostgreSQL queries, achieving a 30–45% reduction in p95 latency for high-volume workflows. Built versioned REST APIs, event-driven workflows with SQS/SNS, and robust observability with OpenTelemetry and CloudWatch. Implemented resilience patterns including retries, backoff, circuit breakers, and idempotent APIs. Delivered GenAI and search-driven capabilities using embeddings, retrieval pipelines, and RAG architec
Senior Software Development Engineer at Amazon
August 1, 2019 - December 1, 2021
Built and operated distributed Java and Python microservices on AWS (EC2, ECS, DynamoDB, Aurora PostgreSQL) supporting large-scale control-plane and data lifecycle systems. Designed scalable APIs enabling resource orchestration, state management, and high-concurrency workflows in distributed environments. Improved system scalability by optimizing thread pools, request throttling, caching, and connection management behind ALB/ELB. Applied distributed design patterns including bulkheading, fault isolation, exponential backoff, and guarded retries to improve reliability and reduce cascading failures. Developed and enhanced dashboards for operational observability, improving internal workflows, and collaborated across engineering, product, and operations teams in a fast-paced Agile environment with CI/CD pipelines and canary deployments to enable rapid, low-risk delivery.
Software Engineer at Clearbit
July 1, 2014 - July 1, 2019
Built full-stack features for a large-scale B2B data platform using React and Angular frontends with Python and Node.js backend services. Designed ingestion, enrichment, and search pipelines supporting structured and unstructured datasets across high-traffic workflows. Developed scalable APIs and backend services enabling data retrieval, filtering, and analytics for customer-facing applications. Optimized performance through query tuning, indexing strategies, and background processing to support high-volume and low-latency data access. Implemented secure and compliant data handling practices, including encryption, access control, and audit-friendly logging. Owned production monitoring, alerting, and incident response for customer-facing services. Improved system quality and velocity through automated testing, CI/CD, and incremental delivery.
