About

With over 20 years of experience in software development, I am a passionate and skilled software engineer who loves to build fast, scalable, and user-friendly web applications. I am currently a Senior Staff software engineer at LinkedIn, where I lead an effort to scale code craft insights to all LinkedIn Engineering. In my previous role, I was the technical lead for LinkedIn's flagship product, linkedin.com, and part of the Client Web Frameworks team. I worked on various projects to improve the performance, testing, and tooling of the web application, including Project Fast, Project Bertie, and Ember native classes. I also contributed and maintained several open source libraries, and received the Engineering Leadership Award in 2018. I have extensive expertise in Ember, JavaScript, and web frameworks, and I enjoy sharing my knowledge and learning from others.
