About Me

I'm a staff-level engineer focused on the space between product and infrastructure. I've led migrations to event-driven architectures, rolled out design systems used by 40+ engineers, and partnered with PMs to turn fuzzy requirements into measurable outcomes. Before Aurora I spent several years in high-growth B2B SaaS, where I learned to optimize for learning speed: small releases, strong observability, and documentation that actually gets read. I care about accessibility, clear ownership boundaries, and codebases that welcome new contributors. Outside of work I mentor early-career engineers, speak occasionally at local meetups, and contribute to open tools around developer experience.

Experience

• Lead the developer platform squad (8 engineers): paved paths for services, CI/CD, and internal APIs.
• Introduced SLOs and error-budget policy; reduced Sev-1 incidents by 42% YoY.
• Partnered with design on a component library adopted across 6 product lines.
• Mentoring staff candidates and junior leads; hiring loop for senior ICs.
