About

I’m a Staff Software Engineer who enjoys working on complex product problems and building systems that customers rely on every day. My background spans Staff IC and engineering management roles, where I’ve owned core product areas and led cross-functional initiatives on platforms that power key customer workflows. Along the way, I’ve developed a strong appreciation for thoughtful technical tradeoffs, clear communication and collaboration, and building software that balances speed, quality, and long-term maintainability. I’m currently exploring Staff-level IC opportunities where I can partner closely with product and design, take ownership of meaningful technical scope, build systems that make a tangible difference for users, and apply AI to accelerate development and improve customer experiences.
