• Lead engineering for Netflix's core entertainment experience across TV, mobile, and web: client applications, streaming playback, and discovery experiences, entertaining 300M+ members in 190+ countries.
• Run a multi-hundred-person engineering organization spanning multiple director-led teams. We build the experiences that shape how members find, start, and watch content across every device and content type, including the expansions into live events and advertising. A big part of my job is growing the senior leadership bench. I bias toward talent density: scaling through stronger leaders and teams, not just more of them.
• Key efforts under my leadership: a ground-up rebuild of our mobile applications, a new foundational TV product, and continued evolution of playback to support live and ad-supported content. I've also shaped how we operate as an engineering organization, from how we make technical decisions to how we keep quality and reliability high as scope grows.

• Led Netflix's global Android and iOS engineering organizations, responsible for the mobile experience used by hundreds of millions of members across multiple markets and languages. Grew the organization with a focus on talent density, keeping teams small and high-performing even as the product surface area expanded.
• Scaled teams and systems to support rapid product iteration and new business initiatives, including early investments in mobile gaming and the delivery of Netflix's v1 mobile gaming SDK. Also served as acting product lead for the mobile platform for a year, owning strategy, prioritization, and tradeoffs across engineering, product, and design. That experience changed how I think about the relationship between engineering and product leadership.
