Resume

Current focus

Since July 2026, I have resumed my role as co-founder and CTO of CalmTrader following a six-month break for full-time parenting. We are restarting development around an agentic research and decision-support product, with Selva Selvakkumaran’s new working prototype as the technical foundation.

I remain open to Forward Deployed Engineer, hands-on founding-engineer, and staff/principal IC roles building AI agents, LLM infrastructure, and technically ambitious products.

The forward-deployed AI engineer version is my main resume, for the roles I am pursuing now. The data platform version covers the same career from a different angle: the ingestion pipelines, warehouses, search systems, and internal tooling that engineers and data scientists actually work in. The architecture version puts fifteen years of AWS design and operation first.

Working style

I am at my best in small, capable teams with a real problem, incomplete information, and enough trust to own outcomes. My executive experience helps me frame tradeoffs; my target role keeps me close to the architecture and the code.
