## About

I design data systems that work at the scale where most architectures break\. At Adobe, I own data platform architecture across two products in the Digital Experience org: ▪ Adobe Learning Manager \(ALM\) — Architected a petabyte\-scale Lakehouse serving 1000\+ enterprise customers where data freshness is a core product SLA\. Designed a near real\-time CDC pipeline ingesting 1000s of tables from PostgreSQL, MariaDB, and MySQL using Debezium, Kafka, and Apicurio Schema Registry into Medallion architecture on Delta Lake\. Built a high\-concurrency query engine on Trino/EKS/HPA achieving sub\-5s latency at 800\+ concurrent RPS — powering an in\-house BI tool, Custom Report Builder, and a GenAI Data Insights Agent for plain English querying over petabyte\-scale data\. Delivered 70% cost reduction — $200K to $60K/month\. ▪ Adobe DSP \(Demand Side Platform\) — Architected core data infrastructure supporting 400B\+ RTB bid requests/day at sub\-second latency\. Delivered a production ML platform deploying 300\+ models for bid price calculation — adopting Metaflow integrated with MLflow for experiment tracking and model governance, improving ML engineer productivity\. Designed end\-to\-end Multi\-Touch Attribution pipeline across Search, Social & Commerce ingesting from Google, Microsoft, and Yahoo Japan\. Extended the platform with a DSP GenAI Data Insights Agent — low\-latency Gold schemas enabling natural language querying delivering results in seconds vs minutes\. Over 17 years delivering enterprise\-scale data platforms across AdTech, Media, BFSI, and Retail\. My philosophy: Architecture must serve the business\. Every system I design is built to be fast, reliable, cost\-efficient, and ready to scale before the business needs it to\. What I do best: ▪ Distributed Lakehouse Architecture at Petabyte Scale ▪ Real\-Time CDC & Streaming Pipelines ▪ ML Platforms · MLOps · GenAI Agent Development ▪ High\-Concurrency Query Engine Design ▪ Cost\-Efficient Infrastructure Redesign ▪ Data Governance · Compliance · Schema Management ▪ Engineering Leadership · Mentoring · Team Grooming
