I work on infrastructure and backend systems, with experience running production workloads.

At Syngenta, I helped scale AWS infrastructure across 100+ accounts, improving reliability and driving ~$500K in annual cost savings. At State Street, I built an internal AI system (RAG-based) and automation tooling that reduced manual setup effort by ~60% and improved developer workflows.

I enjoy owning systems end-to-end, from design to production, especially where reliability, performance, and real-world usage matter. Looking for roles in infrastructure, platform, or AI systems where I can ship and iterate quickly.
