Engineering leader with 11+ years of experience driving impact at scale, leading high-performing teams, scaling platforms, and launching transformational initiatives across product, infrastructure, and AI domains. Currently at Dropbox, I lead engineering initiatives focused on accelerating developer productivity, building unified identity systems for AI agents, and shaping a future-ready platform designed to support the emerging era of AI swarms. I’ve built and scaled distributed systems, led zero-downtime migrations affecting billions of users, and shipped foundational architecture changes that enable modern product innovation.What sets me apart is my blend of technical depth and business acumen. I don’t just ship code, I shape vision, define product strategy, and drive cross-org alignment to solve complex, high-leverage problems. I’ve led through ambiguity, rallied teams through layoffs, and built resilient orgs that deliver under pressure. Outside of Dropbox, I serve as an advisor to early-stage startups, helping founders navigate technical architecture, team design, and product-market fit, most recently at Brainvoy.ai, an AI-native company rethinking how ecommerce companies monitor and act on business-critical signals.If you’re building ambitious products, tackling systems at scale, or need to turn vision into execution, I’d love to connect.
