Software Engineer — Applied AI, previously Edge RoutingNew York City

Building the data pipelines behind RLHF across software engineering disciplines, and the evaluation harness for Meta's coding models — the machinery that decides whether a model is actually getting better. Before that, edge routing: high-performance C++ for global load balancing, and the internet routing infrastructure carrying 300+ Tbps to 3.4 billion people a day, including the peering relationships with thousands of ISPs that settle how traffic finds its way.

Made license usage tracking 90% faster with SQLMesh models over BigQuery, owned the Java licensing workflows behind 14%+ revenue growth, and built a directory service in Envoy, Go and Kubernetes sized for ten times the customer base.
