I'm a Lead Software Engineer based in Chicago, IL with a background in data infrastructure—specifically building the ingestion pipelines and analytics stores that manage high-volume data events.
Currently, as the Lead Software Engineer (and acting Interim Manager) for Data Operations at ActiveCampaign, I oversee the architecture that powers analytics for a $165M+ ARR company. I manage the organization's adoption of Apache Druid and Kafka, scaling the system to 9 production instances to handle traffic from Meta/WhatsApp integrations, Automations user activity, binlog streaming to Snowflake, and more.
I have a track record of stabilizing teams and infrastructure. I believe a Staff engineer should unblock teams— coordinating working groups, defining investigation strategies, and delegating remediation tasks effectively across the team rather than fixing every issue myself.
