Hey there! I’m a Senior Software Engineer who loves tackling complex problems and turning them into scalable solutions. I’ve been fortunate to work at some amazing places like Uber and Coinbase, where I’ve helped build products that impact millions of users.

At Uber, I’ve worked on projects that shape the core of the rides experience—like improving how we match riders and drivers and optimizing supply to reduce wait times. I’ve led teams, rearchitected critical systems, and delivered high-impact features on tight deadlines.

Before that, I was at Coinbase, diving into the Web3 world. I helped build backend systems for Ethereum transactions and made it easier for users to explore decentralized apps safely and efficiently.

I enjoy collaborating with cross-functional teams, mentoring junior engineers, and simplifying complex systems to make life easier for everyone involved. Whether it's improving performance, reducing latency, or finding smarter ways to solve problems, I’m always up for the challenge!

I also enjoy using chatgpt to write for me.
