About
I build AI and data platforms, lead teams, and still write code. I like clean documentation and helping engineers grow into people who own their work.
Right now I'm at Oredata as an Engineering Manager. Most days are a mix of architecture decisions, code reviews, and finding ways to make AI useful in real systems.
Most of my work is on Google Cloud and AWS, with Kubernetes tying things together. I've built systems for banks, insurers, telcos, and gaming companies.
Lately I've been working with agentic AI: Gemini, ADK, A2A. It's an interesting problem space and I'm curious to see where it goes.
