Experience
Meta · Software Engineer, Reliability Infra
2024 - Present
Service-dependency reliability - a platform addressing ~15% of the company's top-severity incidents.
- Built the canonical dependency graph in Rust - stream-fusion over six telemetry sources at ~20 GB/s.
- Designed dependency notifications and a protection program adopted across 1,200+ services.
- Led a fault-injection program that eliminated risky dependencies, protecting ~$100M in revenue exposure.
- Brought LLM agents into the stack to explain and classify dependency risk at fleet scale.
Fidelity Investments · Software Engineer
2023
Built a 15M-document search and indexing pipeline (AWS Lambda, SQS, Solr) and a real-time reporting system for financial research.
Quest Global · Software Engineer
2018 - 2021
Voice authentication and OTA update infrastructure for automotive ECUs, serving 10K+ users.
Selected Work
Dependency Service - Rust streaming graph fusing six telemetry sources at ~20 GB/s; the platform's source of truth.
Dependency Explanations - LLM agent harness over 16 purpose-built tools; near-100% coverage at ~$0.15 a pair.
Fault-Injection Loop - chaos experiments (fault injection) producing ground-truth labels that make the dependency classifier better over time.
