I'm a top performing engineering leader on the Anti-Evil/ Trust and Safety at Reddit. Our mission is to protect good users from bad experiences. I have grown the team 4 to 50+ in the past 5 years and now building verticals focused on bringing safety to reddit communities. I love starting innovative new initiatives, building, scaling, leading and growing global teams, platforms and applications in the social media and big data landscape. I am intentional about building collaborative and humble culture. As an entrepreneurial engineer at heart, I enjoy prototyping ideas and conceptualizing, designing, and delivering impactful software products and tools. I excel in cross-functional execution at scale, with attention to details. In the past I have worked in the video gaming industry, ed-tech, non-profit orgs and have also run my own food-tech business. I am a lifelong learner on and outside of work.

I believe in giving teams the context and the freedom to execute, and empowering them with the right tools and processes. I also enjoy being an angel investor and supporting early-stage startups in various sectors.
