About
’m a technical leader and engineering manager with 12+ years of experience building and scaling enterprise platforms across AI, data, cryptography, and distributed systems.I’ve led initiatives that reduced time-to-market by 45% on an $8.8T smart city program, enabled GDPR/CCPA/eIDAS compliance (avoiding millions in potential penalties), and architected real-time data platforms processing 100K+ events per second to unlock actionable business intelligence.My technical background spans Rust systems programming, Python-based agentic AI, and applied cryptography, including zero-knowledge proofs and secure multi-party computation. I’ve led and mentored globally distributed teams of 25+ engineers while remaining hands-on where it matters most. I’m an active member of the International Association for Cryptology Research (IACR) and am particularly interested in roles at the intersection of engineering leadership, AI platforms, and privacy-preserving systems.
