CoreWeave
• Feb 2023 - August 2025
Senior Software Engineer I
- Led the decommissioning of CoreWeave’s cw-node-controller, architecting and implementing its migration into the more efficient fleet-lifecycle-controller, resulting in streamlined node provisioning and management.
- Enhanced the node eviction process by designing a robust root-cause analysis system, enabling automated, data-driven eviction decisions and reducing manual intervention.
- Engineered seamless state synchronization between cw-node-controller and fleet-lifecycle-controller during migration, ensuring uninterrupted operations and zero downtime for customer workloads.
- Implemented comprehensive metrics for node eviction to give fleet-lifecycle-controller deeper insights into the node eviction process to help us meet SLI and SLO targets.
Provisioning Team Lead
- Took full ownership of critical infrastructure projects including fleet-lifecycle-controller, cw-node-controller, flcc-helper, epimetheus, and cwctl—key components forming the backbone of CoreWeave’s node provisioning infrastructure.
- Applied deep technical expertise to manage complex interdependencies between systems, ensuring reliable delivery of healthy nodes to customer clusters and automated removal/replacement of unhealthy nodes, directly impacting revenue.
- Acted as a primary technical point of contact between the FLCC team and leaders in other engineering areas, keeping the team aligned with upstream dependencies, new designs, and strategic initiatives.
- Led design and implementation efforts across multiple high-impact systems, balancing urgent fixes with long-term scalability and efficiency goals.
- Introduced innovative processes to streamline node provisioning operations, improving stability, performance, and maintainability across the provisioning stack.
- Drove improvements in code quality and maintainability through rigorous code reviews, architectural guidance, and hands-on refactoring of complex systems.
- Proactively mentored and supported team members, guiding them through debugging, architectural decisions, and ownership of individual components to foster skill development and autonomy.
- Developed strategies to balance planned feature development with unplanned reactive work, helping to shift team operations toward a healthier 50/50 planned-to-unplanned workload.
- Implemented delegation practices to reduce bottlenecks, empowering team members to take on critical responsibilities and improving collective team throughput.
- Enhanced communication within the team through daily standups, collaborative troubleshooting sessions, and tailored communication approaches for different team members, increasing alignment and transparency.
- Strengthened leadership capabilities by managing multi-faceted, business-critical projects, coordinating work across parallel development streams, and maintaining focus under high-pressure timelines.
- Refined advanced problem-solving skills by designing scalable solutions that address cross-system complexities while minimizing downstream risk.
- Contributed to innovation and technical direction by identifying architectural improvements, evaluating trade-offs, and implementing solutions that support both immediate needs and long-term vision.
- Represented the team and CoreWeave leadership in strategic discussions, ensuring technical decisions align with business objectives.
- Cultivated a collaborative, high-performing team culture by fostering trust, respect, and shared accountability, fully embodying CoreWeave’s values of “Achieve More Together” and “Empower Employees.”
