About

I’ve spent my career obsessed with optimizing distributed infrastructure until we take it for granted. From my time as a TL on AWS DynamoDB to joining Lightstep as employee #9 (scaling the platform from pre-revenue to a 9-figure acquisition), I’ve learned that before a technology can be ubiquitous, its foundation must be battle tested. That's what we are tackling at Momento - the next great infrastructure challenge in the Agent Era. We are building a high-performance stateful layer that breaks the "millisecond floor" to target sub-100μs latencies, ensuring that the next generation of AI never has to wait on its data. Technical DNA of our team: 1. Distributed Systems: Architecting at global scale (AWS, GCP). 2. Hyper-Optimization: Tuning the Linux kernel, gRPC, and Rust runtimes for micro-latencies. 3. GTM & Growth: Scaling engineering teams through hyper-growth and successful exits. I’m a proud MIT and University of Toronto alum who believes infrastructure should be invisible, instantaneous, and relentlessly efficient. If you’re also building for the 100μs future, let's talk.
