About

Product-minded Software Engineer with 12+ years of full-stack experience. Currently helping build Secret Protection at GitHub to secure the world’s code. Beyond software, I’m deeply interested in urbanism—particularly sustainable transportation and city systems that shape how people live, move, and connect. I’m exploring how my skills can contribute to building smarter, more livable cities in the future.
