I'm a software engineer and founder who builds tools that empower developers and scale to billions of users. My passion is translating deep technical insights into products that solve real-world problems.

From Theory to Scale

My journey began with a deep dive into theory at UC Berkeley and in systems and security research, leading to publications at top-tier conferences and acceptance into Stanford's CS PhD program. But I realized I wanted to build systems, not just study them. I left academia before enrolling to pursue industry impact. During this period, I created RustOS, an experimental operating system in Rust's earliest days, to bridge the gap between theory and practice.

At VMware, I engineered core networking components for their NSX virtualization platform. Then at Google, I spent six years on large-scale systems protecting 4B+ users. I supported Google's security chief on Chrome protection for macOS and rose to Tech Lead as I led efforts to convert internal services into revenue-generating products.

From Zero to One

As CTO and cofounder at Tavoro, I fused this deep technical experience with a product-first mindset. We built a mission-critical warehouse management system from the ground up, taking it from a whiteboard idea to a production service that paying customers relied on every minute of their operations. This experience taught me the most important lesson: the most elegant code is that which solves a real customer problem and enables a business to thrive.

What's Next: The Future of Developer Experience

My focus is now on the next frontier: AI infrastructure's overlap with developer tools. The rapid evolution of AI is creating fascinating challenges around scale, reliability, and developer experience — exactly the kind of problems I'm built for.

My current project, Typegres, is the first step in this direction. It's a next-generation TypeScript query builder designed to solve the trade-off between SQL's power and full type safety, in the context of AI-assisted development.

I'm looking to partner with ambitious people and teams that share this vision. If you're building category-defining tools for developers or tackling hard problems in AI infrastructure, let's connect.
