Senior Software Engineer — Clear Street

2021 — present · New York City, USA

• Built service-level deployment platform enabling granular deploys with build artifacts, customizable scripts, and sandboxed Kubernetes Jobs, supported by multi-region distributed agents. Resulting in 1M+ deployments (95% <15s), boosting velocity, reliability, and rollback speed. article
• Engineered a scalable in-house authorization service inspired by Google's Zanzibar paper, reducing query latency by 99% to <10ms while delivering fine-grained, consistent access control via complex relationship modeling in distributed systems.
• Created Octomigrator to automate parallel CI validation during GitLab-to-GitHub monorepo migration (auto-PR creation, result syncing, failure enforcement). Reduced overall migration time and complexity by 60–80% enabling confident, zero-downtime cutover. article
• Developed remote testing service for on-demand ephemeral instances with branch-specific deployments. Reduced setup time by 65%+ and powered 35K+ deploys, streamlining end-to-end testing workflows. article
• Integrated local Kubernetes setup with Minikube and Tilt, accelerating local development velocity. article

skills

I mainly work with Go and Python day-to-day. For side projects, I pick whatever's interesting and challenging — Rust, C, C#, Haskell. As an infrastructure engineer, I work with Terraform, AWS, and have set up and maintained multiple production-grade Kubernetes clusters.
