• Initiating a focused system performance effort across the onboard autonomy platform to raise measurement/debugging capability and reduce tail latency/jitter.

• Driving cross-system investigations of contention and bottlenecks, translating findings into reliability and performance improvements.

• Delivering tracing/profiling tooling (BPF, perf, flamegraphs, IntelPT, etc.) and repeatable workflows/playbooks to scale performance work across teams.

• Supporting the onboard communications framework previously led through rollout/stabilization; reduced “super-late” message events by ~10×.

• Technical lead for the autonomous vehicle onboard communication framework (2022–2024/25): owned architecture, execution, and delivery across teams.

• Led selection and migration from a legacy messaging system (HOL blocking, reliability/scale limits) to a modern stack (incl. DDS); authored proposals through CTO-level review, built POCs, and drove production rollout.

• Led a team of 3–5 engineers over ~2.5 years from concept → implementation → operational stabilization; materially improved tail latency, drops/reliability, scalability, and RCA time.

• Drove on-vehicle network re-architecture to support the new messaging/data-passing model (segmentation, interface configuration, switch settings) end-to-end.

• Late 2025: transitioned focus toward system performance engineering (eBPF + userspace tracing), with emphasis on tail latency and system jitter.

• platform/middleware engineer for autonomous vehicle software: message/data passing foundations, task runtime, embedded linux components, and core infrastructure used by onboard systems.

• built/maintained production C++ components and tooling

• co-founded startup; owned backend + data architecture and core platform design.

• built cloud services and APIs (aws, python/node, nosql/serverless); delivered production mobile app backend, proven with hundreds of users for > a year.

Lead configuration management for the Modular Control Architecture (MCA) program (next-gen locomotive control system), driving sw/config/firmware release/config governance and cross-team delivery.
