I'm a software engineer focused on building great user experiences.

Over the course of my career, I'm grateful to have had the opportunity to work across multiple focus areas including frontend development, backend development, infrastructure, and operations.

Fast-forward to today, and I've had the privilege on working at an audio ad tech startup, a workplace platform startup, and a customer engagement platform. My main focus these days is leading product-focused engineering teams to deliver highly available backend services in order to deliver great experiences to the end-user.

Outside of work, I enjoy listening to and playing music, cooking, traveling, and saying hi to dogs I pass on the street.
