- Extensive experience designing and managing enterprise-grade, multi-tenant data infrastructure for SaaS platforms.

- AI/ML data infrastructure (semantic search, LLM-friendly schema design, columnar database design)
- Proven ability to write architectural decision records that hold up over time — capturing not just the recommendation but the alternatives considered and the conditions under which the decision should be revisited.
- Proven ability to lead technical teams, manage complex data migration projects, and influence cross-functional stakeholders including Product and Engineering leadership.
- Strong understanding of data security principles, multi-tenant isolation patterns, and enterprise compliance requirements (SOC 2, ISO 27001).
