As co-founder of Guardrails AI and TinyStacks, he leads engineering across open-source, multitenant SaaS, and cloud developer tooling while mentoring teams and owning challenging production systems. At AWS he rebuilt and launched major consoles (Amazon Redshift, Athena) and built highly parallelized ETL for Glue DataBrew, serving petabytes of data and thousands of customers.
