About

I'm a software engineer with a passion for using cutting-edge research and technology to improve our planet. With experience in all areas of the stack, I'm currently utilizing my expertise in performance and distributed system design to build GenAI infrastructure that makes developers productive and customers delighted with minimum carbon footprint. In addition to my work in software engineering, I am a co-founder and organizer of the Performance Summit event series (https://performancesummitiii.splashthat.com/), where I bring together industry leaders to share knowledge and insights on performance optimization. I also manage the event's YouTube channel (https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCt50fEvgrEuN9fvya8ujVzA), which features expert talks and panel discussions on various aspects of performance engineering.
