About

I currently work as a Senior Engineering Manager at Postman and lead the Collections Team (15+ engineers) in powering mission-critical workflows across the API lifecycle. Ownership spans collaboration-first features like collections, mock servers and version control, and services processing 10K QPS. I am directly responsible for planning, execution and timely delivery of key roadmap projects. With the scale at Postman, we design scalable, low maintenance systems which solve customer problems. I am a detail-oriented person and I like to work on new challenging problems and brainstorm for potential solutions. It is the thing that brings me the most joy and where I feel I bring the greatest value.
