Lead Software Engineer | 12+ Years Experience | Ex-Google APM | Yale CS | Fullstack & AI Specialist (React Native, Node.js, OpenAI)

I am a Lead Fullstack Software Engineer with over 12 years of experience building, architecting, and scaling products that reach millions of users. My career has been defined by a blend of deep technical execution and high-level product strategy, rooted in my background as a Yale Computer Science graduate and a Google Associate Product Manager (APM). Throughout my journey, I have: Scaled Unicorns: Played a pivotal role at Self Financial, helping scale the team from 40 to 200+ and the user base to over 1 million members during their $1B+ valuation growth. Launched Global Products: Led the launch of Google Translate for Android V3.0, serving 100M+ users and earning a US Patent for real-time translation UI. Architected from Scratch: Founded and led Bundance as CTO, and most recently, architected the Ananda Meditation App from the ground up using React Native and a custom Contentful CMS. Solved Complex Technical Debt: At Finding Focus, I rewrote the React Web Application utilizing an innovative temporary proxy-server based middleware layer to minimize regression risk and reduce refactor scope. I specialize in React Native, Node.js, and Cloud Architecture (AWS/GCP), with a current focus on leveraging OpenAI's structured output and function calling to build intelligent, scalable applications. Whether it’s mentoring junior engineers or designing parallel-processing frameworks, I am passionate about the art and science of software engineering.
