I bring strong execution, product-first thinking, and people leadership, with the ability to work across ambiguous problems and deliver results at scale.

I scaled systems, processes, and people while aligning engineering with product and business priorities. At Rippling, I built and led two platform teams from scratch—focused on global accounting integrations and corporate expense management—delivering foundational systems for one of the fastest-scaling SaaS businesses. My experience spans: Leading cross-functional pods with product, analytics, ops, and customer success. Architecting large-scale systems (Java, Python, Kafka, Kubernetes, Cassandra, Elasticsearch, Redis Spring, Django) Mentoring engineers and building 0→1 high-performance teams.
