About

I’m a Senior Backend Engineer at Uber, where I architect and scale the Tax-Calculations platform to ensure accurate, real-time tax withholding for every order worldwide. Before Uber, I spent eight years at Microsoft—first building tamper-protection for Windows Defender, then as a founding engineer for Defender experts/Project Suzuka I was designing robust data pipelines, analytics tools, and AI agents for analyzing threat signals across enterprise organizations. My expertise spans highly distributed event driven systems driven by Go, C#, Kafka, and Azure, with a focus on observability, fault tolerance, and clean system design. I’m passionate about cybersecurity and distributed data intensive systems, and I thrive on collaborating with fellow engineers to build secure, efficient and intelligent platforms handling planet scale data.
