About

Professional summary

I am a Staff Software Engineer with experience leading large-scale internal platform and capacity management initiatives at Meta. I specialize in building end-to-end products that improve resource visibility, operational efficiency, and decision-making for complex engineering organizations.

I lead cross-functional technical strategy, set roadmaps, mentor engineers, and establish engineering standards for high-quality platform support. I have managed and guided teams of engineers and interns while driving alignment across organizations.

My technical background spans frontend, backend, and data systems, including JavaScript, React, Node.js, Python, GraphQL, PHP/Hack, and MySQL. I am experienced in relational architecture, data pipelines, sharded storage, asynchronous queue processing, and complex system integrations.

I focus on user-centered product development, including defining workflows, personas, and UI/UX experiences for technical users. My work has helped reduce manual operational toil, consolidate fragmented legacy systems, and surface significant operating costs for leadership decision-making.

I also use AI tools fluently to accelerate product development, strengthen engineering practices, and scale collaboration across teams. My background includes software engineering internships at Meta, Snap, Hustle, and TheRedPin.
