💼 What I've Built at Scale

Apple Maps (7 years)

  • Led 3 engineering teams (10 FTEs + 20 contractors) processing 150TB/day from 1000+ providers
  • Launched world's first 3D Transit Maps, beating Google to market
  • Shipped ML models to production: POI Hours prediction, Closure detection (75-95% precision)
  • WWDC-featured work: Led Transit+Apple Pay, EV routing (iOS 13-16 tentpole Apple maps releases)
  • Improved data pipeline throughput 50% through Spark optimization
  • Contributed to Maps growth: 200M → 800M users

Salesforce (2.5 years)

  • Built production ML fraud detection processing 20TB at 1-2M events/sec
  • Optimized Spark streaming performance 30% through custom partitioning
  • Co-authored Security AI patent (USPTO) for deep learning anomaly detection
  • Saved clients millions annually through fraud prevention

Microsoft (8 years)

  • Founded Bing Travel team (0→5 engineers), shipped cross-platform apps in 12 months
  • Led data quality initiatives for MSN portfolio (400M users)
  • Improved app performance 25% and user satisfaction 10%
  • Authored ThinkWeek paper reviewed by President Qi Lu

🛠️ Technical Expertise

Current Stack (Last 12 Months)

Agent Orchestration:
  - Multi-provider abstraction (OpenAI, Claude, Gemini)
  - Tool registration with approval gates
  - Budget constraints and token tracking
  - Streaming with async generators

Memory Systems:
  - DDD architecture with bounded contexts
  - Scoped memory (session, user, global)
  - Conflict resolution strategies
  - Hybrid vector+keyword search
  - Memory outbox pattern (async ops)

Prompt Engineering:
  - Version-controlled in PostgreSQL
  - Evaluation pipeline with golden tests
  - Optimization: manual → DSPy → RLHF
  - A/B testing infrastructure

Safety & Compliance:
  - Red-team evaluation (promptfoo)
  - Multilingual attack corpora
  - COPPA compliance by design
  - PII tokenization and air-gap
  - Retention policies and audit trails

Voice AI:
  - ElevenLabs conversational agents
  - Twilio voice infrastructure
  - <1s latency optimization
  - Turn-taking, barge-in, VAD
  - Session memory across calls

Production Experience (20 Years)

Languages: TypeScript, Python, Java, Scala, Swift, C#, SQL
Data/ML: Spark, Kafka, Hadoop, Snowflake, TensorFlow, PyTorch, scikit-learn
Infrastructure: AWS, Kubernetes, Docker, Jenkins, Git, Streaming Pipelines
Databases: PostgreSQL, Cassandra, Redis, pgvector
Frontend: React, React Native, Next.js, Tailwind CSS

🎯 What I'm Best At

1. Production-Grade Agent Orchestration

  • Multi-agent systems with provider abstraction
  • Tool execution with idempotency and approval gates
  • Budget management and token tracking
  • Streaming responses with backpressure handling
  • Observable: distributed tracing, correlation IDs, structured logging

2. Sophisticated Memory Systems

  • DDD-based architecture with bounded contexts
  • Scoped memory (session, user, global)
  • Conflict resolution (LatestWins, HighestConfidence)
  • Hybrid vector+keyword search (<50ms for 20M+ entries)
  • Memory lifecycle: embedding, summarization, decay
  • PII-aware with automatic redaction

3. AI Safety & Red-Teaming

  • Promptfoo-based evaluation harness
  • Multilingual attack corpora (4+ languages)
  • Pre/post turn filters with COPPA mode
  • Policy tiers (balanced, permissive, safe)
  • CI gates: ≤0.1% leak rate, ≤2% false positives
  • Prompt injection defense at scale

4. Privacy-First AI Architecture

  • LLM air-gap pattern (PII never reaches model)
  • COPPA compliance: consent, retention, parental controls
  • Data provenance: BASE/OVERLAY/DERIVED tiers
  • Field-level licensing and expiration
  • Automatic PII tagging and tokenization
  • Audit trails for regulated domains

5. Voice AI & Conversational Design

  • ElevenLabs + Twilio integration
  • <1s latency across full pipeline (STT → LLM → TTS)
  • Conversational flows: greeting, turn-taking, barge-in
  • Session memory across multiple calls
  • Age-appropriate UX design
  • Multi-channel: voice, SMS, web, devices

6. Large-Scale Data Systems

  • 150TB/day ingestion from 1000+ providers (Apple)
  • Entity resolution across 100M+ records
  • Real-time streaming: 1-2M events/sec (Salesforce)
  • ML productionization: evaluation, inference, monitoring
  • Hybrid search: vector + structured filters
  • Knowledge graphs with cross-domain traversal
