I've worked mostly on intersection between experimentation and software engineering to drive user growth and smooth over problems in activation and new user onboarding. I like thinking about and writing code that helps new users get going with products and features. 

Some major focus areas for me lately: 
- lots of frontend (TypeScript, React, CSS, integrating third party tools)
- LLMs, AI vector databases and observability to power features in-product
- experimentation tools (LaunchDarkly, Statsig, in-house frameworks)
- user data tools (Segment, Amplitude, Snowflake, Iterable, Stripe)
