Professional Journey

15+ years building safety-critical platforms, from enterprise monitoring standards to distributed workflow orchestration and AI-augmented engineering

  2022–Present • New York City Metropolitan Area

  Senior Software Engineer

  Amazon

  Built a workflow orchestration platform on a single principle: safe by default. Deterministic safety gates defined in code, a saga pattern across control and data planes, a structured environment where AI agents make real infrastructure changes with confidence. Also designed the monitoring deployment patterns that finally held at usability and scale where previous iterations failed.
