My face

Who am I?

I'm a Senior Software Engineer at Databricks, working on the Object Storage Platform team. My focus is on building a high-performance proxy for transferring petabytes of data efficiently across AWS S3, Google Cloud Storage, and Azure Blob. This access layer abstracts storage complexities for both internal engineers and external customers, handling performance optimizations, security (encryption, network), and cost efficiency. I primarily work with Scala and Envoy.

Before that, I worked at Uber on the payments platform, where I helped design and build a system that manages customer and driver payment instruments. My work focused on simplifying global payment onboarding and improving the reliability, scalability, and security of payment services. I built and maintained high-throughput Golang, Java, and Python microservices, led the design of a payment profile access control system, and worked on initiatives to enhance system resilience. I also contributed to expanding payment method support worldwide and helped onboard engineers by teaching a recurring technical communication course.

I'm especially interested in distributed systems, observability, scaling, and databases. I enjoy tackling challenges that make systems more efficient, reliable, and easier to operate. I like to move fast, iterate, and make decisions based on data. I also believe in keeping things simple—because simple solutions tend to work best.

Some stuff on the side to keep me busy

  • I was part of OUTech Robotics, where I designed and implemented the high-level strategy software for our competition robot.
  • I'm also interested in cybersecurity. While at university, I was a member of the InfoSec club and enjoyed solving binary exploitation challenges. I even gave a talk on the topic—you can check out the slides here.
  • I enjoy working with other engineers and sharing what I know. Seeing others grow and improve is something I deeply value.
  • You can find some of my projects and open-source work on my GitHub.

Fun stuff..
