Senior Staff Software Engineer / Studio Engineering Lead | Meta

2023 – Present

Led the optimization of a multi-model orchestration layer, reducing character-generation latency from 12 minutes to 4 through sequencing and hardware/resource optimizations across 6 AI providers.
Led a cross-disciplinary pod (engineers and technical designers) responsible for architecture across all of OURO’s Horizon titles (Super Rumble and three prototypes).
Contributed, reviewed and approved creator-facing platform APIs spanning NavMeshes, i18n, asset ingestion, physics, entity lifetimes, camera controls and other core world-building systems. First-prototyper feedback channel for the next-generation world-building editor.

Founding Engineer / Principal Software Engineer | Pragma Platform

2020 – 2023

Engineered a multi-tenant control plane that served as the primary product foundation, enabling the company to scale to 60+ employees and secure a $22M Series B.
Designed and deployed a standardized CI/CD and load-validation pattern using Terraform and Pulumi, which accelerated time-to-market by powering 50+ distinct customer environments in production.
Owned third-party identity (Auth0, Okta) and observability (Grafana, Honeycomb) integrations end-to-end — vendor evaluation, partnership coordination, and integration architecture.
Acted as solutions engineer for early customers, translating their game-design goals into backends.

Senior Software Engineer | Riot Games

2014 – 2019

Served as the Tech Lead for League of Legends matchmaking and backend services (game flow, inventory, player behavior, competitive systems, identity and more), managing global distributed systems for 100M+ monthly players; architecture and methodology featured in Riot’s official Engineering Dev Blog.
Owned platform control-plane services for an internal mesh team: service discovery, configuration, metrics and alerting, artifact replication, and build/deploy infrastructure.
Architected and built a custom internal Slack integration to streamline intra-team support and incident response, a case study later published by Slack.
On 24/7 on-call rotation for the League of Legends platform, accountable for global availability.

Software Engineer | Amazon

2012 – 2014

Parallelized a predictive-demand Monte Carlo simulation ETL across product categories, reducing runtime from 9 days to 3 for the largest categories.
Contributed to vendor-services platforms (chargebacks, ship windows) supporting Amazon’s international operations.

Raiter — Built an agentic software-development framework orchestrating Codex, Claude, and Gemini to decompose user intent and turn it into working code. Designed the framework’s UX and task-verification logic to be robust enough to allow non-technical users to autonomously implement and deploy software features.
