Engineering Manager @ Cisco — Building at the intersection of Cloud, AI Agents & DevSecOps
I'm a hands-on engineering leader with 10+ years of experience shipping cloud-native platforms, building AI agents & RAG systems, and scaling DevOps culture. I love collaborating with the community, contributing to open source, and exchanging ideas with fellow builders.
I'm an Engineering Manager at Cisco Systems with a decade of experience building and leading engineering teams that ship cloud-native, AI-powered compliance and security solutions at enterprise scale.
My work spans architecting distributed systems on AWS, Azure & GCP, building AI agents and RAG pipelines, and implementing end-to-end DevSecOps workflows. I'm deeply curious about how LLMs, vector databases, and agentic frameworks can transform how we build software.
Outside of work, I'm passionate about the developer community — I enjoy exchanging ideas, pair-programming on interesting problems, contributing to open-source, and connecting with fellow engineers. If you're building something cool or just want to geek out about tech, I'd love to hear from you.
The domains I'm deeply passionate about and actively work in every day.
Designing and building cloud-native architectures, Infrastructure as Code, CI/CD pipelines, container orchestration, and platform engineering across AWS, Azure, and GCP.
Building autonomous and semi-autonomous AI agents using LLM orchestration frameworks — from single-purpose tool-calling agents to complex multi-agent systems for workflow automation.
Designing retrieval-augmented generation pipelines — from document ingestion and chunking strategies to vector search, re-ranking, and grounded LLM responses for enterprise knowledge systems.
Building modern, responsive web applications and internal developer platforms with React, Next.js, Node.js, and Python — from dashboards to complex SaaS products.
Crafting scalable distributed system architectures, microservices patterns, event-driven designs, and performance optimization strategies for high-throughput applications.
Building GRC platforms, automating compliance frameworks (FedRAMP, SOC2, ISO 27001), integrating security into CI/CD, and engineering DevSecOps culture.
A comprehensive toolkit built across 10+ years of hands-on engineering and leadership.
A decade of progressive responsibility — from system engineer to engineering manager.
Industry-recognized certifications and awards that validate continuous learning.
