About

Designing and building scalable software systems with a current focus on multi-tenant SaaS platforms and, more recently, AI-native architectures. Over the past 20+ years, I’ve worked across distributed systems, backend platforms, and cloud infrastructure - solving problems around scale, reliability, performance, and data isolation. Currently focused on: - Designing GenAI soltuons (LLM integrations, agents, RAG) that work in real-world production environments - Building this in multi-tenant architecture that scales without compromising cost, latency, or security - Improving developer productivity through better systems, tooling, and architecture Particularly interested in where AI meets systems design and turning prototypes into reliable, production-grade platforms.
