About me

I am a Senior Software Engineer with over 8 years of experience building scalable backend platforms, distributed systems, data infrastructure, and full-stack applications across quantitative finance, advertising technology, and large-scale production environments. My expertise lies in low-latency systems, real-time data processing, distributed computing, and ensuring production reliability. I have a strong background in designing and operating high-performance backend services, large-scale data pipelines, and infrastructure that supports mission-critical applications.

Throughout my career, I have demonstrated the ability to work across the full software development lifecycle, from architecture and implementation to deployment, monitoring, and long-term operational support. I collaborate closely with researchers, product teams, and infrastructure organizations to deliver reliable systems focused on performance, scalability, maintainability, and engineering excellence.

Currently, I work at The Voleon Group where I build and maintain production infrastructure supporting large-scale quantitative trading systems and automated trading workflows. I develop low-latency backend services that transform machine learning model signals into real-time automated trading decisions, and design distributed data pipelines with strong performance and reliability requirements.

Previously, I worked at Meta where I designed scalable backend systems supporting advertising measurement and privacy-focused data processing platforms. I built large-scale distributed data pipelines using Spark, Presto, and Kafka, and contributed to privacy-enhancing technologies aligned with industry standards.

At Bloomberg LP, I developed backend infrastructure for fixed-income electronic trading platforms, focusing on latency-sensitive systems with high performance and operational stability. I also have research experience as a Research Assistant at Case Western Reserve University, where I worked on distributed computing, privacy-preserving computation, and large-scale data engineering systems, and served as a teaching assistant for data science and engineering courses.
