• I spent over 12 years at Netflix, where I grew from engineer to org leader - ultimately leading the Messaging Experiences team. We were responsible for how Netflix communicated with users through billions of messages: email, SMS, push, and in-app. Messaging was a critical part of how we supported growth, retention, and monetization - and I helped shape how we built for scale, experimentation, and real business outcomes.
• Influenced over $10B in revenue over the years by supporting pricing changes, upsells, lifecycle nudges, and the password-sharing monetization effort.
• Served as engineering leader accountable for the bootstrapping and delivery of the paid password-sharing initiative, directing a 150+ person cross-functional team. I represented engineering in the cross-functional leadership group that presented updates to Netflix executives including the CFO, COO, and CPO.
• Led development of the in-app messaging orchestration system, which enabled the business to deliver contextual, experimentable messaging on all devices. The system is core to delivering critical revenue generating experiences.
• Helped shift the org from execution-focused to innovation-driven - within two years, every engineer shipped a production idea, several generating millions in annual revenue.
• Introduced the Consumer Product org’s first cross-functional accountability framework - a cultural change that stuck and helped us deliver during uncertain times.

• At Yahoo, I led test engineering for DataHighway - the company’s flagship real-time data platform that powered analytics, personalization, and advertising across properties like Search, Mail, News, and the homepage. This was my first experience working at true internet scale, and it shaped how I think about reliability, systems, and data quality.
• Built and owned the end-to-end test framework for a platform that ingested terabytes of data daily, supporting petabyte-scale analytics.
• Wrote automated tests in Perl, C++, and Java to validate complex data pipelines and catch regressions before they hit production.
• Our team helped keep data reliable for hundreds of downstream teams - including behavioral targeting, ad delivery, and search ranking.

• I joined Motorola straight out of college and became part of the core team responsible for building and automating the baseline software used across Motorola’s flagship phones like the Razr and Rokr. Over time, I grew into a lead role, helping scale the team’s impact globally.
• Automated the core build and release process that supported over 100 device variants shipped worldwide.
• Cut release cycle time by building tooling that replaced fragile manual steps - helping teams move from occasional builds to daily integrations.
• Owned and maintained the baseline build used across all P2K-based phones during Motorola’s peak global run.
• Trained engineers in Brazil, Italy, India, and the U.S., and helped set up local build/release teams with consistent tooling and process.
