02 // EXECUTIVE PROFILE

Career Trajectory & Thesis

Iam an Engineering Leader with over 15 years of experience spanning product design, developer productivity, cloud infrastructure, and multi-cloud data platforms.

My career began with eight years in UI design, front-end architecture, and design systems at startups like Restorando, Xapo, and Mural. That design rigor subsequently powered a seven-year ascent into cloud infrastructure and data platform leadership: migrating petabyte-scale data pipelines from Redshift to Databricks, building internal reverse-ETL systems, standardizing multi-cloud Terraform deployments across AWS and GCP, and managing distributed teams across multiple countries.

CORE PLATFORM PILLARS //
Multi-Cloud & Infrastructure as CodeStandardizing Terraform, Kubernetes, Docker, and CI/CD across AWS and GCP environments.
Data Lakehouses & PipelinesArchitecting Databricks lakehouses, dbt models, Prefect orchestration, Trino, and real-time streaming.
Developer Productivity & Team ErgonomicsEnabling fast feedback loops, self-service tooling, automated testing, and clear ownership.
