His background spans high-throughput systems at Zapier, multi-region AWS infrastructure and DDD at Tempo, and production ML pipelines and CDC at Crowdstreet, showing fluency from model training to deployment and monitoring. At Nike he engineered backend systems that survived massive traffic bursts and implemented distributed tracing across microservices, indicating a strong operational focus.
