About

I’m a Software Engineer working at LinkedIn, where I build cross-platform infrastructure spanning Android, iOS, Web, and backend services. My focus is on developer productivity, data quality, and large-scale systems that make product engineering faster and more reliable. Over the years, I’ve transitioned from mobile-first engineering to full-stack, leading initiatives that cut build failures, automated schema deprecations using AI agents, and cleaned up legacy infra, saving the company significant cost and time. Previously at Loco, I helped scale a live-streaming platform to 10M+ users, built search systems powered by Algolia and Kotlin, and delivered SDKs generating direct client revenue. I enjoy solving hard engineering problems, bridging infra and product teams, and pushing automation to reduce human toil.
