Summary
I'm passionate about how AI is transforming software engineering. My focus is twofold: helping build products that integrate AI to solve real-world problems, and bringing AI-powered tools into development processes to dramatically increase engineering velocity and impact. With decades of backend and automation experience, I'm exploring how AI can be used not just as a feature, but as a force multiplier for innovation.
Experience
Software Engineer
- Most recently worked in the OCI Region Build Automation teams, helping create and maintain applications and processes used in the construction of new data centers worldwide.
- Led design and implementation of PXE-based device installation and configuration utilities using Python (OCI SDK) and Bash, streamlining setup for OCI Roving Edge Infrastructure devices.
- Automated full-rack backup and restore workflows for Oracle Cloud at Customer, cutting iteration time from 5 days to 5 hours.
- Designed benchmarking framework for OCI Digital Media Services to measure FFmpeg transcode performance across compute shapes.
- Co-invented patented VM image generation technology for multi-tier installations.
Software Engineer
- Developed non-preemptive threading library in assembly for SMP architectures used in RDBMS kernel development.
- Built real-time graphical tool for monitoring parallel SQL queries.
- Implemented Binary Large Object (BLOB) storage and enhanced transactional logging subsystems.
Projects
