Founding Engineer
at ScowttSeptember 2025 – Present
- •Built Scowtt's shared distributed ML infrastructure from scratch: config-driven Vertex AI pipelines for ingestion, inference, & retraining that scale to 47 enterprise tenants, with 10 engineers building on the join engine & CI/CD I own; cut onboarding time by 65% & enabled a 3× customer-count increase in 6 months.
- •Engineered the fault-tolerant data plane behind $500M+ in performance marketing spend (100 GB/day ingested from Salesforce, SFTP drops, and custom API pushes) and the conversion event delivery to Google, Meta, and Microsoft powering a 30% average incremental return on ad spend (ROAS) lift across customers.
- •Established the team's Terraform IaC foundation across AWS & GCP and co-designed the onboarding spec and workflows that auto-provisions tenants through our internal agent, cutting provisioning from 3–4 days to hours.
- •Shipped Sage, an LLM data-analyst agent (DAG orchestration, self-correcting critic loop, per-tenant memory), which answers business data questions in minutes, saving 2 weeks of data discovery per new client.
- •Own platform-wide production reliability through centralized log-based alerting, statistical anomaly detection on BigQuery baselines, and infrastructure drift detection, driving MTTR for failure classes from weeks to hours.
- •Joined as engineer #3; as the company grew to 30, co-managed 2 engineers, personally onboarded all 8 ML engineers onto the pipeline platform for their per-client deployments, and codified common workflows into knowledge bases and LLM-executable skills so others run them without errors.
Co-founder, CEO
at Spindl2021 – 2023
- •Built and scaled a crypto payments platform to 10k+ users and $50k MRR with shareable payment pages that replaced raw wallet addresses, supporting on-chain tips and donations, NFT galleries, social links, and one-click token minting.
- •Engineered the TypeScript & Solidity stack with support for Ethereum, Solana, & Bitcoin through pluggable per-chain transfer adapters, wallet-signature authentication unified into a single JWT session model, and a deployed Merkle-proof airdrop contract.
Selected Projects
LLM-Powered Podcast Clipping
⭐Clippy is an end-to-end pipeline turning podcasts into clips: WhisperX transcription, Gemini highlight selection, and active-speaker detection with smoothed face tracking for GPU reframing and caption burn-in. The serverless backend runs on Modal & Inngest with durable workflows, per-user concurrency limits, preloaded models, a cached weight volume for fast cold starts on L40S GPUs, and presigned S3 uploads, and a Next.js web app lets users upload, track progress, preview, and download their clips..
Distributed Lock Service
⭐Fault-tolerant, reentrant distributed lock manager in Python on top of an etcd cluster with auto-renewal and structured logging for distributed job coordination. Benchmarked at 5k+ ops/sec and under 40ms latency on a 3-node deployment, delivered with a Docker Compose setup and a 50+ test suite.
Recode
⭐An AI DevOps Agent that eliminates downtime by giving your application the ability to fix itself (it does this by automatically detecting errors in production, reading logs, coming up with a fix and deploying it). .
PatchPilot
⭐An autonomous AI engineer/agent that automatically fixes bugs and adds features whenever a GitHub issue is raised, powered by Daytona sandboxes..
ImmunAI
⭐An adversarial security platform powered by an autonomous attack agent that red-teams production AI agents. It autonomously discovers vulnerabilities, builds exploits, and generates novel attack vectors for agents in real time..
Streamling
⭐Decentralized video streaming platform with creator tokenization using DeSo blockchain.
Healera: IoT Faucet Extension
⭐IoT faucet extension that modernizes outdated taps with smart water management system.
TestPrep International
⭐Expanded instructor team to 50+ and student body to 200+ from 10+ countries.
