About

Software engineer with 6+ years of experience building products, platforms, and teams from the ground up. I enjoy solving messy, high-impact problems — from scaling distributed systems to shaping early product strategy. These days, I'm focused on leading my team, driving clarity, and delivering fast without breaking things. Always up for a conversation around product-led tech, GenAI, or just building better teams.
