About

Building automation and developer-facing tooling at Okta to improve reliability, security, and operational efficiency at scale. I’m currently a Senior Software Engineer on the Developer Foundations team, working across release engineering, internal tooling, and platform enablement to help teams move faster with less friction. With 5+ years of experience, I’ve worked on large-scale web applications and internal platforms, with a strong foundation in system design and scalable engineering practices. I enjoy tackling complex operational problems and turning them into simple, self-service workflows that improve developer experience. Beyond individual contributions, I actively mentor junior engineers, collaborate across teams, and support cross-functional initiatives involving engineering, TPMs, and platform stakeholders. I care deeply about building systems—and teams—that are reliable, scalable, and set up for long-term success. Always curious, I enjoy learning new technologies, sharing knowledge, and contributing to initiatives that create meaningful and lasting impact. Chess Experience: - International rated chess player with participation in six national tournaments. - Led the University chess team as captain, demonstrating strong leadership and team management skills.
