01 — HIGH CONCURRENCY & INFERENCE AT SCALE

Software

I engineer high-throughput backend architectures, low-latency AI inference pipelines, and structured telemetry databases. Allergy to latency, devotion to reliability.

THE SHIPPED CODEBASE

Featured software work

FETTLE · FOUNDING ENGINEER

Fettle: Healthcare Voice AI

Distributed voice agents for hospital customer experience and automated workflows. Orchestrated high-concurrency SIP trunking with LiveKit, built a cross-modal clinical recommender engine, and optimized real-time sub-second inference using PyTorch and TorchRec on Kubernetes. Owned the complete backend design and DevOps lifecycle.
