I build and scale analytics platforms with a product mindset, and the work starts with the "middleware and compute systems that power analytics at scale." In platforms like Amplitude analytics and other unified analytics platform architectures, that foundation is what makes everything else possible.
Day to day, I oversee the "APIs behind charts, cohorts, and metrics—driving performance, reliability, and platform scalability." When those APIs are fast and resilient, every product team—from growth to customer success—can trust the insights they use to ship, learn, and iterate.
From an engineering leadership standpoint, I partner closely with SRE to define SLOs and error budgets, wire CI/CD pipelines for safe deploys, and track DORA metrics so we improve speed without compromising quality. This combination reduces incident management toil and shortens MTTR while keeping data freshness and query latency within strict thresholds.
From a product management leadership lens, the goal is clarity: crisp APIs, predictable contracts, and transparent stakeholder management across data, engineering, and GTM teams. That alignment empowers product teams with reliable cohorts and metrics, accelerates experimentation, and de-risks roadmaps.
If you’re scaling analytics, invest first in the platform layer: middleware and compute, schema governance, caching strategies, and cost-aware compute. Do that well, and the visible experience—charts, cohorts, and metrics—feels effortless, even as you grow to serve billions of events with confidence.
