I live in the beautiful Pacific Northwest
with my family. I believe technology, when thoughtfully applied, has the power to
elevate human potential. My journey in tech has been driven by this optimism.
Meta
Meta AI
Working on some cool AI-powered solutions based on our open-source
Large Language model (LLM). I'll have more to say very soon!
Meta
Instagram
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. Pretty cool, no?
Meta
Facebook
Build bridges, not walls! 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. It
was a game-changer - a chance to see firsthand how technology can break down barriers and bring people
together in meaningful ways. From late-night hackathons to user research trips around the world, every
experience was a reminder of the impact we were having. And at the end of the day, that's what made it
all worth it: knowing that we were building more than just a product - we were building a community.
Twitter
Twitter Ads
As Head of Engineering for Twitter's Revenue Platforms, I led the team that kept the money machine
humming. We built and optimized the services and systems that powered our entire revenue product suite -
think of it as the behind-the-scenes magic that made our $2.5B business tick. Our mission? To build the
ultimate ads engine from scratch, turbocharging the revenue team to drive growth, innovation, and (of
course) profits! It was a wild ride, but we made it happen!
Microsoft
Bing, Bing Ads, Windows Server
Bing's early days were a thrilling time, as we built a search engine from the ground up. As one of the
founding engineers, I worked on the core components, crafting the underlying systems that powered our
platform. As we expanded, I joined the team working on Bing Ads, where we explored new frontiers in
online advertising. The experience was exhilarating, and it laid the groundwork for many exciting
developments to follow.
