16+ years building and operating large-scale enterprise SaaS · Redwood City, CA

I'm a Senior Principal Engineer at Oracle with 16+ years designing, building, and operating large-scale distributed systems and enterprise SaaS. I work end-to-end — from system design and event-pipeline architecture, to backend Java services and cloud-native infrastructure, to putting generative AI into production.

• 🔭 Currently: architecting Oracle Fusion CX Products — a new framework that unifies products & product categories across the Oracle Fusion CX suite (CX Sales, CPQ, Self-Service, Fusion Service, Order Management) on top of Oracle SCM Product Hub, with an AI-powered rule engine to control what to sell and to whom.
• 🤖 Recently: integrated the Oracle Fusion AI stack into Oracle Fusion CPQ and Oracle Fusion Sales, shipping generative-AI and agent features that help sellers work faster on quotes and deals (LLMs, RAG, vector search, AI agents). See the Oracle AI for Sales feature catalog.
• ⚡ Proudest work: architected a near-real-time event streaming pipeline — sub-2-second end-to-end latency, >10M events/day across production deployments.
• 🧠 I care about: system design, reliability at scale, clean architecture, and growing engineers — I've technically led teams of 20+ and mentored 20+ engineers across globally distributed teams.
• 🌱 Exploring: applied AI/ML, CNCF ecosystem, and the craft of getting LLMs to production responsibly.

• 🏗️ Real-time event pipeline at scale — designed the pipeline, serving layer, and event schema for a record-level streaming feed running at sub-2s latency and >10M events/day. Ships as the Activity Feed in Oracle Sales for Redwood.
• 🤖 GenAI in production — integrated Oracle's Fusion AI stack into Oracle Fusion CPQ and Oracle Fusion Sales, delivering GenAI quote summaries, an in-context "Ask Oracle" assist bar, a natural-language Quote Assist agent, and an AI rewrite assistant across the CPQ 25B–25D releases — now in fleet-wide adoption with 200+ customers actively using them.

• 📜 Inventor — 2 US patents pending at Oracle in generative AI and AI agents, including the orchestration and governance of AI-agent interactions.
• 🔒 Security ownership — Security POC for Oracle Fusion Sales & CPQ: drove 6+ org-wide security mandates and remediated 30+ vulnerabilities, partnering with security architects to keep both products compliant with Oracle's security standards.
• 🧩 Product-catalog unification — architecting Oracle Fusion CX Products to unify products across the CX suite on Oracle SCM Product Hub, with an AI-powered rule engine + high-performance evaluation engine for eligibility and optimal-product selection.
• 🧰 Low-code platform development — core developer on Oracle Application Composer, the "design time at runtime" tool that lets analysts extend Fusion apps (custom objects, scripts, layouts, security) across the CX suite; designed and shipped tool features across releases.
• ☁️ Cloud-native migration — re-architected a monolithic enterprise SaaS into microservices on Kubernetes.
• 🏆 Hackathon winner — built a static-analysis tool over ~20,000 config files; prototype presented to the President of Product Development and productized into a shipping feature — the Application Composer Configuration Report.
• ☕ Oracle Certified Professional (Java SE 6) · OCI Architect Professional & Associate certifications.

Always happy to talk distributed systems, streaming architectures, and shipping GenAI responsibly.
