About

Hello! I'm a Principal Software Engineer at Microsoft, working in the Industrial Solutions Engineering department. I have a passion for building and learning about large-scale backend systems, and my tenure at Microsoft, Google, and Amazon has enabled me to explore this interest. I also enjoy interviewing (I've interviewed hundreds of candidates at big tech) and focusing on productivity. Throughout my career journey to becoming a Principal Engineer, I've gained numerous insights, both technical and non-technical, and I continue to learn each day. I share these insights through my weekly newsletter, The People's Software Engineer.
