Currently, I work at Disney Streaming building the next generation of backend services that power Disney+, ESPN+, and Hulu. I work primarily in the commerce ecosystem, building systems that handle payments and payment method storage & management. While I still spend a lot of time writing Scala, my role has grown to encompass technical leadership of a team of engineers and working with product managers to define the roadmap for our services. I lead technical designs for new projects and interface with other lead/principal engineers to ensure our services are scalable, reliable, and secure.

At Yext, I worked as an engineer on the Partner Engineering team.

I graduated from UC Davis in 2018 with a BS in Computer Science. Davis quickly became a second home for me, and I made some lifelong friends who pushed me to be the best that I could be. I couldn't have asked for a better environment to solidify my excitement for technology and creativity.
