My experience spans tactical and strategic roles, highlighting my versatility. I am a Computer Engineer with a Master's degree and 15 years of experience in Security, Infrastructure, HR, Machine Learning Infrastructure, AI Simulation and Developer Productivity. I have held Software Development and SRE roles at notable companies such as Mercor, Cruise, Netflix, Nutanix, Arkose Labs and several successful startups. As a people-oriented leader, I have elevated engineering standards across cross-functional groups, showcasing my detail-oriented and customer-focused approach. I completed my MBA in March 2024 and am an exam author for the Nutanix Certified Systems Engineer certification.
