Hello! I'm a fullstack engineer with an interest in social robotics, data visualizations, design systems, and game dev. I work on the Databricks Visualizations team building charts and visual analytics features for the Databricks platform.

2021 — Now

San Francisco Bay Area

Working as a fullstack developer with a focus on data visualisation and observability.

Currently on the Visualisation team working on the core data visualisation widget library for AI/BI dashboards.

Previously on the Data Pipelines team (and briefly, the Ingestion team) for 3.5 years where I shipped several major customer-facing features that help users manage and observe their pipelines.

I've also worked part-time on the Databricks design system team helping to build new components, and led the development of a shared visualisation component that allows other Databricks developers to use my team's core visualization library in their UIs.

In my day-to-day programming, I use React, Typescript, GraphQL and Scala.
