Lead engineer — data engineering since 2021.
I lead a team that builds data-heavy backends — architecture, reviews, and hands-on code. Languages come and go — Python today, whatever fits tomorrow. The work itself:
- Collecting data at scale — external APIs, open sources, and crawling built with an understanding of client fingerprinting — from headers down to TLS
- Processing and storing it — designing pipelines and choosing storage to match the data's shape, volume, and access patterns
- Serving it — APIs that deliver the data to consumers, with clear contracts and predictable behavior
- Balancing time to market and quality — shipping fast when it matters, slowing down where the cost of a mistake is high
I'm a strong advocate of AI agents: agentic workflows are part of my daily engineering routine, and I push for their adoption in the teams I work with.
