- Design and operate high-volume data pipelines and services at massive scale with strong reliability, security, and observability
- Build AI agents, agent harnesses, and developer tools - then operate them reliably at very large scale

Tech stack includes: Python, distributed systems, data pipelines, LLMs, AI agent frameworks, REST APIs, cloud infrastructure.
