About

Engineering leader with 9 years of experience building and scaling AI-powered products and distributed systems. Currently leading engineering at Styldod, scaling the platform from 0 → $2.5M ARR, serving 2.1M+ users globally. My work sits at the intersection of backend systems, AI-driven products, and team building. I’ve been deeply involved in both hands-on development and leadership—designing scalable architectures, hiring and mentoring teams, and driving product execution end-to-end. Over the years, I’ve helped transition the company from human-driven services to AI-powered systems, significantly improving scalability, efficiency, and product experience. Key highlights: • Improved product conversion from 0.67% → 8%+ through AI-driven product improvements and better UX • Built and scaled AI systems handling 1M+ requests/day and 100K+ images/day • Reduced infrastructure costs by ~40–50% using serverless architecture and autoscaling strategies • Built and led an engineering team from scratch (10+ engineers across backend, frontend, mobile) • Designed distributed systems using Node.js, Python, and AWS (Lambda, SQS, EC2, SageMaker) • Developed real-time AI systems using WebSockets and LLM integrations (OpenAI, Gemini, etc.) • Built multi-tenant SaaS platforms and enterprise integrations (MLS systems, SSO, data pipelines) I enjoy solving complex system problems, building strong teams, and working closely with product to create meaningful user impact.
