    Infrastructure and backend engineer, 3.5+ years. I work on the Amazon Redshift control plane at AWS.

    I built the production control-plane backend for Redshift Serverless's AI-driven autoscaler: resize orchestration, failover, and state management. I'm the person who makes ML systems run reliably in production, not the one training the models.

    Other work at AWS: - Cut deployment blast radius ~95% with fault isolation on a core orchestration service. Zero rollbacks. - Cut multi-region deployment time from 3-4 weeks to 5-7 days by moving core services to AWS CDK. - Led the Graviton4 rollout for Redshift Serverless. ~30% per-node compute gains, zero customer impact.

    Before that I shipped a CUDA MRI reconstruction solver and a 3D U-Net on Vertex AI at a medical imaging startup. MS EE, Columbia.

    Looking for: AI/ML infrastructure, platform, or backend roles at Series A/B AI companies.
