Years of experience technically leading cross-functional teams: driving modernization of the stack, aligning stakeholders, and ensuring deliverables ship with high quality. Comfortable taking the lead while making space for every team member's input.
Learned to navigate a challenging organizational environment to push for modernization. Informed and aligned expectations with stakeholders from across the organization and external vendors. Guided and helped multiple teams in the process by understanding their needs and addressing them together. Received numerous appraisals from teams and management for the collaboration and internal growth.
Ten years of data analysis experience. Six years engineering experience designing, implementing, orchestrating, deploying and industrializing ML models for signal analysis. Extensive optimization experience using domain-specific knowledge. Implemented and analyzed key indicators to assess model performance after deployment.
Multiple years leading modernization of the infrastructure to support analytics, high-throughput data ingestion and real-time observability. Always working on both infrastructure and application sides.
Delivered many production-level applications in both Rust and Python separately as well as integrated using maturin. Experience testing, packaging, publishing, containerizing and deploying applications.
Years of experience designing, implementing and maintaining a solution architecture on-prem, AWS and Azure. Many years of practical experience with other providers such as Hetzner, Scaleway, Backblaze, Cloudflare. Over ten years of experience administrating desktop, laptop, server and (hybrid) cloud environments.
Use of Typescript and C++ for professional and personal projects. Go for Terraform modules and other small projects. Familiar with object-oriented languages Java/Kotlin and C#.
JAX, mlflow, ONNX, JupyterHub, Scipy, scikit-learn, Optuna, Ray, Familiar with Tensorflow, PyTorch.
ClickHouse, Dagster, dbt, NATS, Datahub, Apache Kafka, PostgreSQL, Apache Iceberg, Project Nessie, Trino, SQLAlchemy, Apache Superset. Familiar with Apache Spark.
ExternalDNS, cert-manager, buildkit, external-secrets, Distribution (container registry), Rook, Ceph, Redis. Used in personal projects HashiCorp Vault, Operator SDK.
TailwindCSS, GraphQL, Typescript, React, Font Awesome, Next.js. Used in personal projects Prisma, SolidJS, SolidStart, Supabase.
Git, Trunk-based development. Not scared of merge conflicts.
Driving complete revamp of the ML platform from the ground up to support new HFT trading strategies, involving multiple teams across the organization and external vendors.
Centralized multiple data storage systems into a single ClickHouse cluster deployed on-prem to enable analytics, real-time observability, streaming patterns in model training and high-throughput data loading via Rust.
Maintain the team deployments on on-prem Kubernetes as well as managed EKS on AWS.
Designed and built the team's Cloud Development Environment at ASML on Coder and Kubernetes, supporting in-cluster ML development and iteration with devspace.
Drives continuous personal improvement, not by doing more but by doing it better.
From architecture, design to implementation, monitoring and maintenance. Actively deploy and maintain a multi-cloud Kubernetes cluster on Hetzner, with the Control Plane hosted on their Cloud offering, bare metal servers, and technically on-prem, since one node is at my house. Distributed systems are particularly interesting to me, especially regarding concurrency.
My family, our two cats, reading books, playing videogames and weightlifting motivate me to keep learning and growing as a person.
Contributions to open source projects (ClickHouse, Dagster, Clarabel) and free software, making personal projects available on GitLab under MIT, Apache 2.0 and GPLv3 licenses.
Avid Arch Linux and NeoVim user.
