About

I have spent 10 years making sure IoT systems do not fail in production — and that is harder than it sounds. From hospital-grade medical devices at GE Healthcare to smart buildings managing 500+ edge gateways at JLL Technologies, I have owned the full stack: device onboarding, edge gateway services, cloud backends, security, and the observability layer that tells you when something is quietly going wrong at 2am. My core work is backend and edge platform engineering — building the systems between physical devices and cloud infrastructure that are reliable, secure, and maintainable at scale. I work primarily with AWS IoT Core, Greengrass, MQTT, Java, Python, Kubernetes, and Docker. I have built from embedded firmware protocols all the way to cloud-native microservices and CI/CD pipelines. I have done this in regulated environments — healthcare and enterprise — where it mostly works is not acceptable. That discipline around security, compliance, and operational readiness is now baked into how I build everything. More recently, I have been applying RAG and agent-based workflows to IoT observability — giving engineering teams natural-language access to logs, incidents, and operational patterns instead of drowning in dashboards. On the remote side: I spent 2+ years in a fully remote, globally distributed team at JLL Technologies, working with engineers in the US and Europe with structured async workflows and cross-timezone ownership. I know how to move things forward without a meeting, communicate clearly in writing, and stay accountable across time zones. I have led teams of up to 10 engineers while staying deeply hands-on. I do not just review code — I write it. Currently open to Senior IoT and Backend Platform Engineer roles — remote-first — where the technical problems are genuinely hard and the systems matter.
