Now

Aug 2026

At Datadog, I am a Staff engineer in Datadog AI Research (DAIR), working on the Trained Agents for Observability team. I build simulation environments, RL training loops, and evaluation infrastructure used to post-train agents for SRE incident response. Before DAIR, I led the query and connector platform those agents use for data access.

Outside work, I play chess and Age of Empires II, build and maintain a few personal tools, and help with open source when I can. I'm a Substrait committer and occasionally contribute to Apache Beam, Calcite, DataFusion, and Trino.
