I am a hands-on software engineering leader with extensive experience building high-performing teams and delivering reliable products from early research and ideation through launch and scale. I combine deep technical expertise with product thinking, business acumen, and a people-first leadership approach.
I have three years of direct people leadership experience and have led distributed engineering teams, grown organizations, hired and mentored engineers, and supported career progression. I focus on ownership, accountability, technical excellence, continuous improvement, and creating an environment where engineers can innovate and grow.
I lead architecture, technical strategy, delivery planning, reliability, performance optimization, and operational excellence for large-scale systems. My experience includes high-availability platforms, low-latency transaction services, enterprise search, conversational AI, security capabilities, and cloud-native applications.
I am passionate about Generative AI, AI/ML, conversational AI, LLMs, semantic search, and retrieval-augmented generation. I use emerging technology and GenAI across the software development lifecycle to improve engineering productivity and deliver intelligent, customer-focused solutions.
I work effectively across engineering, product, design, research, business, and operations teams to translate ambiguous opportunities into measurable outcomes. I am authorized to work in the United States and am open to relocating to Bellevue, Washington.
