About Me

Hello,

I'm a Senior Software Engineer with 7+ years of experience building high-scale products at established technology companies and taking 0-to-1 products from idea to production at early-stage startups.

I work across frontend, backend, cloud infrastructure, and platform architecture, with a data-driven approach to engineering. I focus on solving real customer and product problems, measuring outcomes, and building systems that are scalable, reliable, and easy to evolve.

At Okta, I work closely with Solution Engineering teams to turn customer and field requirements into scalable platform capabilities, combining technical depth with product thinking and execution.
