About Me

Build systems that last, for problems worth solving.

I'm a software engineer focused on executional excellence and well-designed systems. I've shipped in high-velocity environments where speed and quality are both essential. Having experienced the full startup journey and made significant contributions, I understand how decisions impact ops, support, sales, and the entire business - and how engineering solves real problems.

End-to-end thinking
Engineering decisions that work for the entire business, not just the tech stack.

What sets me apart is bringing both technical excellence and human understanding to every project. With a background in music and community organizing, I bridge gaps between teams and turn complex problems into elegant solutions.

What I Bring to Teams

Calm Execution

Clear priorities, predictable delivery, no drama

System Design

Architecture that scales, refactors that reduce cognitive load

Team Leadership

Mentoring, process improvement, cross-functional collaboration

Innovation

Exploring AI integration while maintaining code integrity

What I Do

Three ways I create leverage for product teams.

Stabilize

Debug complex problems, reduce incident frequency, and bring observability where it matters most.

Observability Testing Strategy Great UX

Accelerate

Refactor with intent, build robust foundations, and remove toil from everyday work.

Refactors DX Dev Tools

Systematize

Turn ad-hoc success into repeatable libraries, design systems, dev patterns, and tooling.

Libraries Design Systems Dev Patterns

Selected Work

Real impact through thoughtful engineering

Drag & Drop Form Builder

Open Source

Created intuitive form builder with React and Redux, optimizing user experience for non-technical users.

Last-Mile Logistics Platform

Active

Building comprehensive logistics platform with dynamic pricing, real-time tracking, and route optimization.

85% fewer bugs Global Scale

Operations Automation Suite

Internal Tool

Built automation tools that streamlined operations, creating dashboards that drive key business decisions.

99.8% data accuracy Simplified operations

Search Engine - Data Intelligence

Lead

Led cross-functional team to enhance Neeva's search algorithm through data optimization, and quality improvements.

Team of 12 2022-2023

Areas of Expertise

Turning complex problems into elegant, maintainable solutions

Geospatial Technology & Data Visualization

Building intelligent mapping solutions and location-based services. From interactive dashboards to complex spatial analysis, making data tell compelling stories through visual interfaces.

Maps API Geospatial Data Visualization Location Services

Frontend Architecture & User Experience

Creating scalable, performant web applications that users actually enjoy. Focus on component architecture, state management, and building interfaces that handle complexity without overwhelming users.

React TypeScript System Design Performance

Productivity & Efficiency

Identifying repetitive pain points and building smart solutions that multiply team productivity. From internal dashboards to automated reporting systems, turning manual processes into efficient workflows.

Process Optimization Internal Tools Reporting Systems Automation

Guiding Principles

Nine rules I go by

01

Make it legible. Problems first, tools second.

02

Prefer reversible decisions; move fast.

03

Ship calm software; avoid heroics.

04

Design for failure paths, not happy paths.

05

Guardrails beat gatekeeping.

06

Automation where it compounds, not where it dazzles.

07

Small, consistent wins > rare moonshots.

08

People > process > tools - in that order.

09

Leave it cleaner than you found it.

Beyond the Code

Music isn't just a hobby - it's how I learned discipline, collaboration, and creative problem-solving.

With multiple wins behind me, I bring the same passion for excellence to my engineering work. Music taught me that great performances come from practice, attention to detail, and deep collaboration—principles I apply daily in software development, whether debugging systems or leading teams.
