Principal/Staff-level engineer and systems architect with 20+ years of experience.
Technologies:
Python, Go, Scala, PostgreSQL, Redis, AWS, GCP, distributed systems, event-driven systems, ETL/data platforms, observability, performance engineering.
Recent work has focused on:
- distributed data and workflow systems
- healthcare data integration
- event-driven and domain-driven architectures
- performance profiling and optimization
- concurrency, multiprocessing, and large-scale data processing
- PostgreSQL, Redis, S3, AWS infrastructure, observability, and CI/CD
- RFC/ADR processes, architecture documentation, and engineering standards
Previously at Veda, I redesigned a large data-processing system around pluggable storage and compute abstractions, reducing processing time by ~96% and infrastructure cost by ~30%.
I prefer small, composable abstractions, explicit interfaces, strong testing, good observability, and systems that are easy to reason about. I work comfortably across code, architecture, infrastructure, and performance.
Culture-wise, I'm looking for high technical standards, direct communication, meaningful code review, collaborative design, and an environment where senior engineers are expected to challenge assumptions and improve how systems are built.
Looking for Principal Engineer, Staff+, Systems Architect, or hands-on technical lead roles.
