About

With over 20 years of experience in software development, engineering, and management, I am passionate about creating and delivering cutting-edge gaming and cloud solutions that delight customers and drive business outcomes. As the Vice President of Engineering, Gaming at Netflix, I lead a talented and diverse team of engineers, designers, and product managers who are responsible for building and scaling Netflix's gaming platform and content portfolio. Prior to joining Netflix, I was the General Manager of Amazon Luna, where I oversaw the launch and growth of Amazon's cloud gaming service that enables customers to play high-quality games across their existing devices. I also held various leadership roles at Amazon's Fire TV and Appstore divisions, where I led the development and delivery of innovative features and products for millions of users worldwide. Before Amazon, I spent 12 years at TopCoder, a global leader in crowdsourcing and digital talent, where I rose to a Senior Vice President, driving the strategy, operations, and technology of the platform.
