About

At Uber, I build for a scale where every millisecond matters. Powering 28 million+ daily trips requires more than just clean code; it demands extreme architectural precision and unwavering reliability. I specialize in the "high-stakes" side of distributed systems—most recently leading a service redesign that slashed fetch latency by 43% and architecting fault-tolerant monitoring solutions to ensure global observability at every step of the trip lifecycle.
