About me

I'm Teva — a technology leader based in Salt Lake City, Utah, with 18+ years of experience building secure, scalable, and resilient systems. I currently work at Pattern, where I lead engineering efforts at the intersection of AI, cloud, and platform reliability.

My career has spanned the full stack of infrastructure — from on-premise systems to cloud-native AWS architectures. Over the years I've accumulated four AWS certifications including Solutions Architect Professional and Security Specialty, which reflects how seriously I take the operational and security dimensions of what I build.

Lately I've been going deep on generative AI — multi-agent orchestration with LangGraph, RAG pipelines, and production deployment of LLM systems on AWS Bedrock. I recently completed the AWS Generative AI Developer Professional certification to formalize that direction.

Earlier in my career I contributed to peer-reviewed research — four publications between 2010 and 2015 covering cloud architecture, data transfer protocols, and geospatial analysis. That research background informs how I approach system design: rigorously, with an eye toward what actually generalizes.

I grew up speaking Tamil and think of that bilingual perspective as an asset — a reminder that there are always multiple valid framings of a problem. Outside of engineering, I read Stoic philosophy. Marcus Aurelius, Epictetus, Seneca. It keeps the work grounded.
