Experience
A career built around systems thinking — across enterprise, startup, and scale-up environments — always centered on architecture, reliability, and real-world impact.
Real-Time Context Engine for AI Agents · Flink · ClickHouse
Principal Engineer — Founding Team
DeltaStream is the real-time context engine for AI agents — solving the "context failure" problem that causes agents to reason on stale data. Built serverlessly on Apache Flink, ClickHouse, and Apache Spark, the platform delivers sub-second latency context to AI agents operating in production. I joined at the founding stage to architect the core streaming infrastructure, establish the multi-tenant data plane, and build the engineering foundation for enterprise-grade reliability.
Platform Built
Leadership Scope
Key Challenge
Building enterprise-grade streaming infrastructure with startup velocity — making architectural calls that need to survive 10x growth, while shipping fast enough to validate the product.

Principal Engineer, Infrastructure
Confluent is the world's data streaming platform, built by the original co-creators of Apache Kafka. I worked on the core infrastructure powering Confluent Cloud — the fully managed, cloud-native Kafka service — solving hard problems at the intersection of distributed messaging, multi-tenant architecture, and real-time AI/ML data pipelines. Confluent's proprietary Kora engine delivers enterprise-grade throughput across AWS, GCP, and Azure with a 99.99% uptime SLA.
