About

Engineering leader with experience in building consumer products and running mission-critical systems at scale. I focus on bringing people together by leading with empathy, setting clear expectations, and giving honest feedback. I’ve worked through all stages of growth (0 → 1 → N) with teams from different cultures and backgrounds, expertise in full software lifecycle - from design and development to deployment and operations. I enjoy building strong teams, mentoring, designing reliable systems, and improving developer experience. Lately, I’m interested in how Generative AI can be applied to create useful, real-world products.
