About
Software engineer with production experience building across the stack — from AI-powered product features (RAG pipelines, multi-agent workflows) to distributed backend systems and scalable infrastructure. Comfortable owning a problem end-to-end, from architecture through deployment, at a scale of thousands of customers and millions of users.
Mountain person at heart — happiest on a trail, or deep in a system diagram.

Experience
Software Development Engineer 1 · Highspot
Jul 2025 — Present
- Architected multi-turn agentic AI workflows across two scopes: a per-document Content Agent for grounded Q&A, and a Marketing Agent coordinating tools, sub-agents and knowledge dossiers for marketer-facing recommendations.
- Drove a 39% increase in user engagement by re-platforming the Content Agent backend from Tornado to FastAPI with S2S auth, and migrating LLM traffic to Highspot's centralized LLM Gateway, enabling real-time streaming and multi-turn conversations.
- Re-architected the RAG pipeline with structure-aware parsing and semantic chunking across multi-format documents, improving retrieval relevance and lifting evaluation accuracy from 77% to 92%.
- Secured customer content delivery via a sandboxed CDN pipeline (CloudFront + Lambda@Edge) with strict CSP/CORS, replacing legacy unauthenticated origins with authenticated, isolated retrieval.
- Architected and deployed microservices on Kubernetes using Docker and GitOps CI/CD (GitHub Actions + Argo CD), enabling automated, version-controlled and zero-downtime releases.
- Enabled slide intelligence by implementing slide-level embeddings for similar-slide, along with item and slide-level analytics.
- Built LLM-driven pipelines for content dossiers and audio summaries (AWS Polly), enabling multi-modal content consumption.
Software Development Engineer Intern · Highspot
Jan — Jun 2025
- Reduced job queue processing latency, as measured by a 50% drop in processing time tracked via New Relic OTel metrics, by scaling infrastructure to c7a.2xlarge instances and increasing concurrency from 2 to 4 workers.
- Improved API response times, as measured by a 75% reduction in latency, by refactoring synchronous logic into background jobs and enforcing robust authorization and error handling.
- Developed new admin tools, rake tasks and background jobs to support and extend content ingestion and processing pipelines.
- Enabled content similarity search and analytics by implementing slide-level perceptual hashing and metadata extraction from XML.
Software Development Engineer Intern · Scaler
May — Jul 2024
- Increased visitor-to-lead conversion and user engagement, as measured by a 2.5% lift in conversion and a 5.4% increase in engagement, by revamping the Scaler landing page using Next.js and Tailwind CSS.
- Improved site performance, as measured by Lighthouse score gains (desktop 40 to 82, mobile 30 to 70), by implementing SSR, aggressive image optimization and caching strategies.
- Enabled real-time behavioral tracking and funnel optimization by instrumenting event-driven analytics using Google Tag Manager.
Software Trainee · Coforge
May — Jul 2023
- Reduced dashboard load time, as measured by a 10% improvement in page-load time, by engineering a Ruby on Rails and MySQL reporting tool with query optimization and pagination.
- Improved platform security and performance via RBAC, session management and Redis caching, enabling faster and more secure data access.
