Senior AI/Platform Engineer

Senior backend/platform engineer with 10+ years building distributed systems at scale (Uber, DoorDash). Looking for a hands-on IC role on a strong team — infrastructure, developer platforms, or applied AI systems. Most recently at Uber as Developer Advocate for Cadence, an open-source workflow orchestration engine powering 12B+ workflows/month. Partnered with engineering teams across the org to drive adoption, debug production issues, and scale fault-tolerant pipelines — including integration with Uber's Michelangelo ML platform. Fine-tuned LLMs on internal corpora and built classification systems for developer support triage. Since then, has been building a self-orchestrating workflow engine with LLM-driven agents, AI-powered job automation pipelines, and side projects like El Minarete (Lotería card game generator) and Lomito (civic platform for animal welfare in Mexico). Pitched Pursuit at Venture Mechanics' AI Scalathon — an agent-to-agent recruiting platform where AI interviews AI to match candidates to roles. Previously worked on Kotlin microservices migration and refund rules engine at DoorDash, NLP resume-matching pipelines at Jobscan, and founded a healthtech startup (CTO). Interested in infrastructure, developer tooling, workflow orchestration, applied ML/AI — especially in healthcare, logistics, finance, or defense. Aims to build systems that matter with people who care about craft.
