About Me
I'm a Staff Data Engineer with over 11 years of experience designing and scaling data platforms for ML, computer vision, and automotive systems. My work spans the entire lifecycle—from architecture and infrastructure design to delivery and stakeholder alignment.
I specialize in building high-volume ETL pipelines, annotation and ML training platforms, and cloud-native data infrastructure processing TB-scale sensor data including camera, LiDAR, and time-series signals. I've led cross-functional teams and delivered mission-critical systems used by automotive giants.
Platform Thinking
I approach problems with a platform mindset—building reusable, scalable systems rather than one-off solutions. Whether it's designing a data collection framework, an annotation tool, or an event search engine over vehicle logs, I focus on creating foundations that teams can build upon.
Startup & Enterprise Experience
My career spans both environments. At Mercedes-Benz, I worked on enterprise-scale systems with rigorous processes and global collaboration. As a co-founder at CaliperAI, I experienced the agility and ownership that comes with building from scratch—handling end-to-end ownership from architecture to production.
This dual experience has taught me to balance speed with quality, and to adapt my approach based on context while maintaining high standards for system design and code.
