About

Over the past decade, I’ve led and shipped products at Meta, Uber, Robinhood, and Helix : from Facebook’s sharing platform used by hundreds of millions to data infrastructure handling 500M+ daily events at Uber. At Robinhood, I built and launched a personalized promotions engine that reduced campaign launch time from weeks to hours, powering 30+ annual campaigns. At Helix, I scaled enterprise-grade genomics systems ensuring reliability and compliance across major health networks. Today, I’m channeling that experience into Evovance, where we’re reimagining habit-building through social accountability and AI. We believe the next frontier of self-improvement isn’t solitary, it’s collective. My core strengths lie in designing systems that are reliable, measurable, and human-centered; whether they serve millions of users or help one person transform their life. Tech: Go · Python · Java · TypeScript · AWS · Kubernetes · Spark · Flink · DynamoDB · React Native Always excited to connect with builders, product thinkers, and founders who want to create technology that helps people evolve and advance.
