Overview

Currently at Robinhood, where I lead ML infrastructure with a team of 17. Moved 93% of ML platform traffic off a legacy monolith without a customer-facing incident. Wrote the Kubeflow service that now handles 78 million requests a day. Before that: Etsy and Instacart. Most at home with CUDA and analytics.
