SENIOR SOFTWARE ENGINEER
Senior software engineer focused on developer infrastructure, C++ systems, and performance. I build foundations that help other engineers ship.
C++ / PYTHON / DEVELOPER INFRASTRUCTURE
Clean build-time reduction
Engineers enabled
Databases consolidated
Graph storage compression
01 / CORE COMPETENCIES
My focus is the infrastructure other engineers depend on: the build pipeline, the shared platform, and the performance-critical code underneath.
Make engineering teams more effective.
Reproducible builds, dependency resolution, cross-platform packaging, caching, and CI/CD.
Build foundations other teams can use.
Storage abstractions and APIs that support multiple engines and applications.
Measure bottlenecks. Improve the critical path.
Profiling across C++ and Python, with optimization of network-bound logging infrastructure.
Work close to the execution model.
High-performance C++, parsers, libraries, compression, data structures, and low-level abstractions.
Coordinate compute-intensive work.
Schedulers, orchestration, HPC clusters, and distributed execution workflows.
Own the foundation. Enable the people.
Architecture ownership, engineering standards, cross-team influence, and developer enablement.
02 / ENGINEERING EVIDENCE
Implementation, scope, and measured outcomes.DEVELOPER INFRASTRUCTURE
Cross-platform build and packaging infrastructure. Reproducible dependency resolution and distribution across Linux, macOS, Windows, x86_64, and ARM.
PLATFORM ARCHITECTURE
A high-performance database abstraction supporting multiple storage engines. Ten internal databases consolidated into a shared foundation for multiple applications.
PERFORMANCE ENGINEERING
Profiling and optimization of a shared logging path across millions of lines of C++ and Python, removing network-bound bottlenecks.
20% latency improvement
