I’m a senior software engineer focused on developer experience and applied AI tooling, with 16 years of experience building systems that help developers ship correctly.

Work Experience

Senior Software Engineer — Developer Experience & AI Tooling at Meta
May 1, 2022 - Present
Expanded a developer documentation role into AI engineering for VR developer platforms. Built an automated screenshot generation system that drives the target app, captures UI state, and uses vision to verify the screenshot matches what procedures claim before publishing. Designed AI-augmented authoring pipelines that generate and structurally rewrite drafts from SDK source, then enforce consistency checks against an organization style guide. Built and maintained Python MCP servers that expose SDK reference content as structured, retrievable context so assistants answer from the real API surface. Developed a Python evaluation harness to score generated documentation against source-of-truth SDK signatures and held-out human references, focusing on reducing hallucinated API references. Implemented staged, schema-constrained generation and kept a human review gate on everything shipped. Led and maintained extensive versioned documentation across multiple VR SDKs and releases, including l
Principal Technical Writer at Red Hat
July 1, 2018 - August 1, 2021
Led documentation for migration solutions supporting container, application, and virtual machine migrations onto Red Hat OpenShift, serving time-pressured audiences with production workloads at stake. Managed documentation for Red Hat’s next-generation modular publishing platform alongside engineering teams and served as technical lead, mentoring writers and improving documentation processes. Delivered docs-as-code workflows using AsciiDoc in Git with CI builds and MR review. Established style linting and automated checks (e.g., broken cross-references and procedure step issues) so human review time could focus on accuracy and structure. Coordinated upstream/downstream documentation differences, aligned releases with Red Hat release trains, and collaborated with Support to prioritize gaps that generated tickets.
Full Stack Developer at Mitutoyo Research & Development America
July 1, 2010 - June 1, 2018
Built desktop and web applications for measurement data collection and quality analysis used by manufacturing customers across automotive, aerospace, and medical device production. Primarily developed in C# on the .NET Framework (WinForms to WPF) and built device integration layers over RS-232, USB, and Ethernet, including legacy protocol support. Implemented statistical process control reporting modules (control charts and capability indices), designed and tuned SQL Server schemas at large scale, and created ASP.NET MVC dashboards for plant managers. Added real-time data acquisition with buffering and retry for unreliable shop-floor networks. Built import/export for legacy formats, supported deployments on locked-down networks, localized for English and Japanese, and collaborated with hardware engineers on calibration and measurement uncertainty handling. Introduced NUnit testing, improved code review practices, and transitioned the team from Subversion to Git.
