🚀 I build ambitious systems that push the boundaries of scale, intelligence, and user experience.
I’m a Senior Software Development Engineer at Amazon, working on personalization systems behind next-gen experiences across Amazon, including areas connected to Alexa and Rufus.
I’m at my best when the problem is deep, cross-cutting, and hard to get right — the kind that rewards strong technical judgment, first-principles thinking, and real ownership.
Over the years, I’ve worked across the stack — from customer-facing experiences to backend platforms, identity, and intelligent systems — stepping into whatever layer the problem demanded.
I’m especially drawn to:
- 🧠 Personalization and intelligent systems
- ⚙️ Distributed systems, backend architecture, and platform design
- 📱 Building across layers, from product surfaces to deep systems work
- 🔐 Trust- and correctness-sensitive systems where quality really matters
I like engineering where the experience feels simple on the surface, but the system underneath is doing something serious.
Outside of work, I’m just as curious.
I like going under the hood, understanding how things actually work, and pushing them further than they were originally meant to go.
That usually pulls me into:
- ☸️ Homelab infrastructure
- 🌐 Kubernetes, routing, networking, and self-hosted tools
- ⌨️ Mechanical keyboards and custom setups
- 🔌 Electronics, DIY builds, and hands-on tinkering
- 🤖 Robotics and intelligent machines
- 🌌 Astrophysics, the cosmos, and big-picture questions
- 🧠 Philosophy, meaning, and first-principles thinking
- 🎨 Design, product feel, and digital craftsmanship
I enjoy building end-to-end, refining details, and exploring ideas that sit somewhere between engineering, design, and curiosity about how the world works.
