Building the next generation of livestream experiences in the Shorts feed. I work to focus the efforts of teams across viewer experience, creation tools and recommendations to build the best destination for live streaming in the world.

I owned organic growth pillars such as Web acquisition funnels for drivers and riders, partnership-driven travel experiences, gift cards, and more. I led multi-team projects that spanned all aspects of the Lyft stack: SEO optimization, funnel optimization, web performance tooling, iOS/Android features, data pipelines and ML models.

I led consulting teams that embedded with companies like Stitch Fix, TaskRabbit, Nissan, and Guild Education to accelerate product delivery. Authored the initial software platform of a now-unicorn. Drove transitions from monoliths to microservice development and design, using consumer-driven contracts, schema validation, event-driven architectures, performance analysis, and load testing to ensure resilience and interoperability. Led refactoring projects that transformed legacy systems with little institutional knowledge back to health. We did it all with XP-style process, but we were never dogmatic about it. I've never had so much fun in my career (seriously!).

I spoke at conferences and meetups on topics ranging from Rails, Elixir, Domain-Driven Design, functional reactive programming, and software design. I also co-founded the Santa Monica Elixir meetup.

An accidental startup that began life as a side project, borne out of a personal need to organize volunteers for events. Wejoinin has evolved to support thousands of businesses and organizations, with upwards of 75,000 monthly active users. I designed and developed the site with my cofounder and maintain it as a labor of love. Tech: Rails, React, Elm

Team lead delivering Blurb's e-commerce features and author publishing experience, directly accountable for shipping a critical project that enabled the company's pivot to self-publishing. I hired and scaled out the Web Team, unlocking growth for senior engineers and mentored teammates to tackle new challenges.

I started an architecture group that was responsible for charting a next-generation architecture for Blurb, moving from a monolith to a microservice future. TDD evangelist and trainer, spreading pair programming and clean OO design across the engineering organization. Provided technical oversight for a major system upgrade project aimed to modernize the Blurb platform without stopping feature development.
