01 Profile

Senior Engineering Manager and 2× founder with 13+ years of experience building and scaling AI-driven, enterprise-grade platforms. Proven leader of 15+ member cross-functional teams across backend, data science, optimization, and MLOps in fast-growing SaaS environments.

I own engineering outcomes end-to-end — from architecture and delivery to team growth, performance management, and cross-functional alignment with product, sales, and customer teams. Hands-on across distributed systems, ML/LLM pipelines, and decision-intelligence platforms deployed on AWS, Azure, and GCP.

Currently leading engineering at 3SC and heading 3SC Labs, focused on applying agentic AI to real-world supply chain planning and execution — while contributing to platform scalability, security, and compliance readiness.
