I%27m a Principal Engineer in a FAANG company, and I%27m looking to advise startups as a technical advisor—helping founders make sound architecture and engineering decisions early, when they matter most.

What I bring: I lead the architecture of RAG agents for local information, weather, and memory services: search, retrieval, ranking, and contextual memory across millions of daily queries. I%27ve built GenAI-powered development practices, using coding agents and prompt-driven workflows to ship production services at 5–10x the typical pace, and I architect multi-agent systems for code review, knowledge management, and science workflows. So I can help you move fast with AI-assisted development without trading away reliability.

I also know how to take products from zero to scale. I designed a self-service advertising reporting framework that cut launch time from 4–5 months to weeks, saved ~$3M/year, and enabled a $100M+ revenue report, and I led the worldwide launch of Campaign Transformer. I%27ve set API standards and operational standards across 600+ org, so I can help you build operational excellence in early.

Where I can help startups most:
- AI/agent architecture — RAG, retrieval/ranking, memory, and multi-agent systems that work in production, not just demos
- GenAI-accelerated engineering — adopting coding agents and prompt-driven development to ship faster
- Scaling & operational readiness — architecture reviews, API standards, reliability, and cost efficiency
- Technical strategy — build-vs-buy, model/tooling choices, and roadmap tradeoffs

I%27ve provided technical leadership across teams of 100–150 engineers and influenced standards at the VP (600+) and SVP levels—experience I%27d like to bring to a small number of startups as a tech-advisor.
