About

Engineering leadership grounded in scale, reliability and trust.

I lead engineering teams working across advertising technology, digital commerce, personalization, search and cloud infrastructure. At Meta, my current focus is advertising measurement, attribution and privacy-aware systems.

Before Meta, I spent more than a decade at Amazon, Audible and A9, progressing from hands-on engineering to multi-team leadership. I write about resilient storage, sustainable software, cloud optimization and the engineering decisions behind dependable systems.

Coaching & Mentorship

Helping peers and industry leaders move forward

I offer free coaching to engineers, peers and industry leaders because mentorship is a personal passion and one of the ways I give back to the professional community.

Volunteer coaching · No fee
100sof professionals supported in earning interview opportunities

I do not provide this as a paid service. I volunteer my time to help people communicate their impact clearly, approach system design with structure and prepare for engineering and leadership interviews with confidence. My guidance draws on years of building teams, evaluating engineering talent and supporting the growth of other technology professionals.
