What I'm currently working on

Building resilient data streaming infra and scaling complex platform systems at Drivetrain to keep our AI engines running smooth.

The best product I’ve worked on…

The one I am currently building, i.e. faucet-stream. Do check it out here: https://faucet-hq.github.io/faucet-stream/

what i've built with AI

I built and maintain faucet-stream on crates.io (https://github.com/faucet-hq/faucet-stream)

What's hard for others but easy for me…

Reading through a new service or tool and ramping up on it

The last shipped feature I'm proudest of…

inline transforms, data-quality checks, secret resolution via external service, dead-letter queues, CDC on faucet-stream

The role I'd take a 20% pay cut for

Which focuses on strong computer science fundamentals, eg database companies, cloud services
