Senior software engineer with 5+ years of experience building large-scale distributed systems, CDN/edge infrastructure, and developer-facing platforms. Currently at Disney working on the DTC media platform powering ESPN, Disney+, and Hulu - designing intent-based CDN policy controls (with Z3 formal verification), optimizing multi-CDN traffic mix, and integrating with Akamai, Fastly, and CloudFront for live events. Previously a founding engineer at a YC-backed messaging startup (Texts) and ran my own infrastructure-heavy SaaS for several years. Comfortable across the stack but happiest deep in backend/infra work - distributed systems, networking, performance, and tooling that makes other engineers faster. Currently pursuing an M.S. in CS at Georgia Tech (Computing Systems, 4.0).
