Experience & Architecture

Here’s where I’ve worked and what I’ve worked on, from distributed systems to machine learning and security. The project notes go into the technical details.

Professional History

Senior Systems Engineer

Quant Network Infrastructure
  • Architected and deployed a low-latency messaging fabric using Rust and Apache Kafka, reducing p99 message propagation delay by 40%.
  • Spearheaded the migration of legacy monoliths to Kubernetes-orchestrated microservices, establishing strict CI/CD pipelines via GitHub Actions.
  • Implemented zero-trust security policies across the internal network cluster.

Machine Learning Researcher

Cybernetics Lab, MIT
  • Developed novel anomaly detection models for network intrusion using PyTorch and graph neural networks (GNNs).
  • Co-authored 3 peer-reviewed papers on adversarial robustness in deployed ML models.
  • Optimized model training pipelines on distributed GPU clusters, improving throughput by 2.5x.
