Professional Experience

Turing - Consultant

Principal Engineer, Amazon UI Gym Development

Dec 2025 - Present

  • Led Docker-based development of RL UI Gyms for Amazon, delivering production-quality environments for Zendesk, Jira, and Gmail; working on HubSpot and Doordash.
  • Designed and implemented full-stack observability using OpenTelemetry, providing detailed frontend, backend, container, and node-level dashboards; instrumentation directly surfaced and resolved performance bottlenecks in Mira.
  • Closed gaps in browser and Python auto-instrumentation by extending backend APIs, restoring missing semantic context, and resolving macOS vs Linux container discrepancies.
  • Architected a deterministic test-data generation system with semantic inference, configurable distributions, and FK-safe incremental data generation across heterogeneous schemas.
  • Built robust asynchronous data import pipelines handling circular dependencies, PII guardrails, constraint enforcement, and import history for large datasets.
  • Designed Claude-based code-generation agents and a template repository to make AI-assisted development deterministic and aligned with quality standards.

Black Duck, CA

Principal Software Engineer, Polaris SaaS for AppSec

May 2022 - Oct 2025

  • Led architecture of a cloud-native AppSec SaaS composed of 20+ microservices running on GKE (GCP) with focus on maintainability, observability, latency, reliability and throughput.
  • Mentored engineers through design and code reviews; introduced platform standards, coding standards and review checklists that improved consistency and maintainability across services.
  • Partnered with product managers and leadership to translate ambiguous requirements into concrete architectures and delivery plans.
  • Designed and delivered a high-throughput ingestion pipeline using GCS, Dataflow, and Cloud Functions, increasing throughput by over 100x.
  • Built a self-serve analytics layer powering dashboards and enabled product managers to create and iterate without engineering involvement.
  • Designed and shipped LLM-assisted workflows for code-fix recommendations, PR review, architecture review, and test generation, with guardrails to ensure safety for production use.

Senior Architect, Network Analytics

Jan 2017 - Mar 2020

  • Architected a real-time analytics platform processing over 1M messages per second with sub-minute end-to-end latency.
  • Designed efficient streaming, storage, and retrieval layers using Kafka, Spark, and Druid.
  • Published streaming data into HDFS for batch analytics and ML workloads, enabling replay, backfills, and offline analysis.

Agaminsoft, CA

Architect, Multi-Tenant Accounting SaaS

Apr 2014 - Dec 2016

  • Designed multi-tenant SaaS solution that could elastically scale and was deployed on AWS.
  • Built a configurable platform with custom fields/objects, forms, workflows, integrations, and a business rules execution engine to support divergent customer needs.
