I'm a software engineer with a wide-ranging background. Currently at Chronosphere, I'm working on storage systems for high volume metric time series data, collaborating with product and engineering to support the observability needs of sophisticated tech enterprises.
Prior to my current role, I worked as a senior staff engineer at Square's Cash App to help ship a Kubernetes-based platform running in AWS for product engineers at Cash App, including deploying a service mesh using Istio, scaling an internal pub/sub system using Kafka, and helping managing compute resources.
In the earlier days of Square, I was tech lead for the accounting and settlements systems as well as the reboot of the company's public developer platform.
