Microsoft AI
I lead engineering at Microsoft AI for Copilot’s Content, Personalization, and Discovery initiatives. My focus is building AI‑first consumer experiences that translate frontier models into practical, everyday value at global scale across Microsoft’s surfaces.The work is about durability and impact: turning advances in AI into products people rely on, while driving sustainable business outcomes. I care deeply about execution quality, user trust, and proving that AI can deliver repeatable value in the real world.

Meta AI
I head Engineering for the Meta AI Assistant Apps, Meta's flagship AI assistant and one of the company's most ambitious product launches. I led the end-to-end engineering efforts that took the app from concept to launch, defining its architecture, experiences, and technical direction. As the Eng lead, I drove the creation of the core product that now serves as Meta's frontline AI assistant across platforms, bringing state-of-the-art intelligence to everyday interactions.

Instagram Reels
Built Instagram Reels from the ground up! Reels was such a fun product to work on. It was a great way to experiment with new ways of creating and consuming content and push the boundaries of what's possible. Over 70% of video on Meta's family of apps now originates on Instagram.
Meta
Facebook Groups & Communities
As the engineering lead for Facebook Groups & Communities, I had the privilege of working on a platform that connected 2.1B people every day around shared passions and interests. From late-night hackathons to user research trips around the world, every experience was a reminder of the impact we were having — building more than just a product, building a community.
Revenue Platforms
As Head of Engineering for Twitter's Revenue Platforms, I led the team that built and optimized the services and systems powering the entire revenue product suite — the behind-the-scenes infrastructure that made the $2.5B business tick. Our mission was to build the ultimate ads engine from scratch, driving growth, innovation, and revenue.
