About

Engineering Manager with over 10 years of software engineering experience, leading business-critical teams focused on high-throughput data streaming pipelines (100,000+ events/sec) and low-latency data serving APIs (250,000+ RPS). In my role, I collaborate closely with engineering, product, legal, and business functions to define product and technical strategies, operational plans, and long-term roadmaps. Additionally, I prioritize operational excellence, encompassing on-call and incident management, coaching, mentoring, technical system design, and code reviews. I am a strong advocate for servant leadership, fostering empowered teams over individual rockstars, and emphasizing outcomes over outputs.
