About

I lead leadership and senior engineering hiring at Rippling, helping build teams that power products used by thousands of companies across HR, IT, and Finance.I work closely with Staff+ engineers, Directors, and VPs who are motivated by meaningful ownership, global-scale impact, and the opportunity to solve complex problems that extend well beyond a predefined role.At Rippling, we’re building one system to run a company. My role is to help find the people who can build and scale that system - thoughtfully, responsibly, and ideally without breaking production 😄Outside of work, I enjoy exploring new cities and food spots, having long conversations with interesting people, and capturing everyday moments through street photography - usually while pretending I’m “just taking a walk.”If you’re considering your next move, or simply want an honest, no-pressure conversation, let’s connect.
