Backend engineer with a focus on data infrastructure and AI-native tooling. I build systems that are reliable at scale — and recently, systems that help AI work better with real knowledge.
Where production scale teaches you things side projects can't
More than three years at Samsung on backend systems serving nearly half a billion users globally. Most of that time was spent on problems where "just rewrite it" isn't an option — running services can't stop, and data loss isn't acceptable. That constraint teaches you to think differently.
Computer science foundations, systems, and steady curiosity
Personal infrastructure, built outside of work
Merged upstream work in Apache Zeppelin and Kubernetes documentation
Happy to talk about backend systems, infrastructure, or the next good problem
