## Profile highlights

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
