Perplexity
Nov 2024 - Current (1 year 8 months)
At Perplexity, I lead deep integrations between the Chromium codebase and advanced AI products, turning browser internals into reliable, high‑performance AI experiences. I specialize in local MCP architecture, enabling seamless connectivity between NextJS and the browser through Chrome-extensions in different webviews like NTP, Assistant panel, and etc. I own stability and release engineering for the Comet Browser and its extensions—designing and operating a custom backend for automated rollouts, staged updates, and rapid rollback. This system has improved release reliability, shortened time‑to‑fix, and increased deployment confidence across platforms.
