Engineering @ Google — agentic AI & ML systems, after 11+ years shipping the 5G/LTE stacks that carry them.

About me

I build systems that sit close to the metal and close to the deadline. Eleven and a half years at Qualcomm went into 5G/LTE protocol stacks — RLC, PDCP, NAS, MAC — the low-level plumbing that keeps a phone connected. I later pulled that same discipline for correctness under constraints into machine learning, shipping one of Qualcomm's first production edge-ML use cases directly on the modem.

At Google, I'm now co-engineering an agent framework from 0→1 in C++, powering reasoning loops for LLM-based systems, and running the TPU / large-model serving infrastructure behind Nest camera perception and real-time captioning.

Along the way: Global eCall Developer Lead across worldwide sites, a from-scratch rewrite of a multi-SIM codebase from three threads down to one, and five granted US patents in wireless and thermal-mitigation technology.
