About

Engineering leader with 25+ years of experience building large-scale distributed systems, high-volume payments infrastructure, and global engineering organizations across fintech, cloud, trading, and enterprise platforms. Over the course of my career, I’ve led engineering initiatives at organizations including JPMorgan Chase & Co., Rakuten, Broadcom and Oracle — delivering resilient, compliant, and high-performance systems operating at massive scale. At JPMC, I led the global engineering organization for the Graphite Wholesale Payments platform, owning architecture, reliability, fraud governance, compliance, and platform modernization across multiple geographies. I also chaired architecture and risk governance forums focused on systemic reliability and security decisions for mission-critical financial infrastructure. At Rakuten, I scaled the fintech engineering organization supporting card, securities, and settlement systems from 8M to 25M customers in under three years, while re-architecting core settlement workflows into distributed, event-driven platforms with near real-time processing. Earlier, as one of the founding engineers at Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI), I helped build core cloud platform services including autoscaling, rolling upgrades, self-service infrastructure components, and large-scale provisioning systems. Today, I’m building Cogneet.ai — an AI-native platform focused on adaptive learning, AI-assisted engineering, and scalable learning infrastructure. My current interests sit at the intersection of AI systems, developer productivity, distributed architecture, trading infrastructure, and financial platforms. Core areas of expertise: • Distributed systems & platform engineering • Payments, settlement & transaction processing • Trading & risk platforms • Event-driven architectures • Cloud-native infrastructure & SRE • AI-assisted engineering workflows • Engineering organization scaling & leadership • Reliability, compliance & operational governance I enjoy building systems that operate under real-world scale, correctness, latency, and reliability constraints — and building engineering cultures that can sustain them.
