I am a seasoned infrastructure and platform engineer based in the San Francisco Bay Area with nearly a decade of experience building and managing cloud infrastructure at scale. Currently at Philo, I work on video streaming pipelines and AWS infrastructure, following a notable tenure at Lucid Motors where I served as Staff Infrastructure Engineer—establishing OCI infrastructure from scratch, architecting AI-powered diagnostic systems, and achieving significant cost optimizations exceeding $100k monthly. My career spans roles at Trifacta and Waterline Data (both acquired companies), where I wore multiple hats across SRE, DevOps, and customer-facing functions. With expertise in Kubernetes, Terraform, ArgoCD, and observability tools like Grafana and Prometheus, along with certifications from AWS, GCP, and Cloudera, I bring a strong blend of hands-on technical depth and cross-functional collaboration skills. I hold a Master's in Computer Science from California State University East Bay.
