Versatile software engineer with experience most recently as a senior software engineer solving high-impact privacy issues at Meta.

Devised solutions with internal-facing Android frameworks (Kotlin and Java) to solve ambiguous privacy regulations for various product features and their technical requirements. Past projects spanned from weaving metadata through different subsystems (including GraphQL server as well as services written in Python, C++, and Hack), to devising load balancer logic for large scale cold storage clusters.

Looking to continue growing in all facets and contributing to interesting problems, such as scalability challenges or health-related tech.
