Designed and shipped agentic AI orchestration on the engineering organization, while continuing to lead the team responsible for Zendesk's email ingestion and ticket creation infrastructure at Gmail-class scale.

• Designed agentic JIRA story implementation workflows enforced by custom team-persona rules and guardrails. Reduced story review time by 60 to 70 percent, measured via sprint metric scripts and prompted agent skills pulling live JIRA data.
• Built a cross-tool agentic delivery system spanning implementation, automated testing, and feature rollout monitoring. Integrated Datadog and PagerDuty-backed skills directly into rollout workflows to surface reliability signals in real time.
• Technical lead for the core team responsible for large-scale email ingestion, HTML decomposition, classification, routing, and ticket creation at Gmail-class scale.
• Owned architectural direction, delivery strategy, and operational reliability posture for customer interaction processing infrastructure.
• Reduced production incidents about 50 percent year over year through proactive observability investment and Datadog-integrated rollout monitoring. Reached a steady baseline of fewer than five incidents per quarter, most attributable to upstream and downstream systems rather than introduced defects.
• Mentored senior engineers and emerging tech leads on system decomposition, tradeoff analysis, and execution discipline.
