About Me

Senior Software Engineer with 14 years of experience building high-quality, scalable software that makes a real impact on people's lives.

I'm a creative problem-solver with a mathematics background and 14 years of experience building high-quality, scalable software. I love tackling complex technical challenges, crafting delightful user experiences, and mentoring engineers to level up their skills. Whether I'm deep in code, pair programming remotely, bonding with my team at a retreat, or collaborating on product strategy, I'm energized by building great software with great people. That same collaborative spirit shows up offline doing improv or bringing people together over a homemade meal.

I'm passionate about fostering environments where creativity and collaboration thrive - from co-founding ERGs to organizing team activities to simply making everyone feel welcome.
