• I work on making your Feed engaging, delightful and valuable. Our products drive the discovery of content, creators and other important parts of the economic graph. And more broadly, I am focused on helping accelerate product innovation within our Flagship app so we can bring even more value to our members and customers quicker. That translates to working on a technology strategy for better platformization, more efficient migrations and other technical improvements that can have impact at the scale of the entire app.

• Leading Profile Engineering under Flagship. Our members are the heartbeat of our social network and form the very basis of the LinkedIn Economic Graph. Profile's goal is to enable members to curate and tell a compelling professional story that will help them achieve their professional goals. You are likely reading this on our flagship product, the Profile, but over the past year, our charter also included other areas related to member identity like Who Viewed My Profile & Search Appearances.
• I also co-founded and led engineering for Equity, a company-wide priority focused on ensuring that the foundations of our platform drive equitable economic opportunity for all our members. Equity Foundations had a cross-functional team of 100+ working to ensure that LinkedIn provided equal talent access to equal opportunity by creating the tools, the processes and the mitigation strategies needed to address bias across the entire stack, particularly in AI and our product experiences.
• Last but not least, I spent a considerable amount of time hiring and growing talent, ICs and managers, alike. This included interviewing candidates and chairing hiring committees for engineers and managers. As someone who had greatly benefited from mentorship, helping other grow had always been a real passion, and this passion took me on a highly rewarding journey where I had the opportunity to personally mentor other engineers and leaders and more recently bring the first ever self-service mentorship program to our entire Consumer Engineering org of 1200+.

• If you are reading this, you already have some good context on what I do. I work with a talented group of engineers on making sure your LinkedIn profile is working for you.

Besides the profile, my team is responsible for products like Who Viewed My Profile and Search Appearances. We also built and launched Skills Assessments.
• From April-Aug 2019, I also served as the first owner for the flagship web experience (www.linkedin.com). My responsibilities included working with several product pillar teams, the infra and productivity teams on ensuring that our website remains healthy and is able to operate and evolve at scale. Based on learnings from this effort, I also helped chart out a sustainable app ownership model for our flagship app on the remaining platforms (iOS, Android & API).
