I am a staff/lead-level Full Stack Engineer with 10+ years building cloud-native platforms and video-first, real-time web applications across the full stack. I own end-to-end delivery from architecture and roadmap through CI/CD, observability, and production operations, partnering closely with product and design, and I enjoy leading engineers in fast-paced environments. I have a deep interest in AI and LLMs and love exploring agentic workflows, including integrating LLM-driven assistants into product experiences to automate negotiation, task management, and operational processes. I am excited to apply data-informed decision making, experimentation, and automation to deliver impact at scale.
