I turn live event streams into decisions that ship.
I lead the AI Platform team at RudderStack, building an agentic decisioning product end to end. Before that, five years on the data plane underneath it: pipelines, queues and warehouses that move customer events at scale.
6.7TEvents processed through Postgres queues
100k/sPostgres queue throughput
~80%Lower warehouse load cost
40%Faster partition rebalancing

Selected work
AI Platform
Agent runtime swap
Moved every live agent from LangChain to Mastra, with both running behind one switch.
0downtime for live agents
AI Platform
Shadow mode
Agents decide on real traffic with every send held back, so teams can trust them before going live.
100%of sends held back until go-live
Data plane
Postgres as a queue
Event queues on plain PostgreSQL, tuned for sustained high throughput in production.
6.7Tevents processed
Data plane
Unified dead letter queue
One home for every event that fails delivery, with replay back to its destination.
1framework for every failure path
