I design and build scalable end-to-end systems across mobile, web, cloud services and Windows. I have 12+ years of engineering experience, including 6+ years at Microsoft. At Microsoft, I have been the technical lead for Microsoft Family for 5 years. In that role I've: • Led web engineering for an experience serving 3M monthly active users (2024). • Led iOS app development, contributing to a rating improvement from 3.0 to 4.5. • Re-architected web and backend services for the EU Digital Markets Act and delivered them to production. • Led improvements to service reliability and developer productivity. • Built AI-assisted developer tools, including a Copilot debugging agent using MCP. Earlier, at Adobe, Times Internet (Gaana) and REVE Systems, I built fraud prevention and security features, consumer mobile apps, and 8+ iOS VoIP apps. I care about clean architecture, maintainable code and mentoring engineers to deliver as a team.
