I’m a hands-on engineering leader with over a decade of experience building and scaling products across mobile, web, and cloud. My background spans iOS development, backend services, and full-stack engineering, giving me a holistic view of how to deliver impactful software end-to-end. At GitHub, I’ve led teams responsible for shaping the Plan & Track experience (including Projects and Issues) and am now focused on driving AI innovations with GitHub Copilot. I thrive on collaborating with product and design teams, architecting robust solutions, and enabling developers to be more productive. My passion for technology, combined with a strong product mindset, helps me deliver experiences that users love—on everything from mobile apps to cutting-edge AI.
