software engineer · staff @ twilio

I'm a Staff Software Engineer at Twilio, where I work on Twilio Agent Connect, enabling any and all agents to use Twilio's rich communications channels to deliver excellent customer experiences.

I've worked across frontend, backend, and infrastructure at startups in audio ad tech, workplace platforms, and satellite imaging. Lately I reach for Next.js, Tailwind, Spring Boot, and d3.

Off the clock: music, cooking, backgammon, and running. Reach out to talk tech or swap music.
