About Me
I'm a Staff Engineer, most recently at Uber, where I was the domain expert for video and was a founding member of the Ads team. I defined the engineering vision and architecture for video at scale across Uber. I led the team building Uber's first major video product; a key innovation in a highly competitive market. As a technical leader, I specialize in architecting scalable systems and driving 0-to-1 initiatives. When I'm not debugging code, you'll find me hiking trails and probably talking about my latest camping adventure.
My Favourite Apps
Pagebound
My go-to app for discovering books and inspiring me to read. I love participating in the reddit style community book threads and read alongs.
TravelSpend
After a year of travel, I can confirm it's the best expense app. The graphs, filtering, multi-currency and expense splitting features are incredible.
Babbel
Babbel makes learning languages feel natural and practical. With a focus on grammar and real-life conversations, it has helped me become fluent in French.
HouseSigma
Real estate market data in Canada should be free and accessible to all! Housesigma allows everyone to make informed decisions.
Wanderlog
Easiest way to create detailed travel itineraries. The gmail integration allows me organize all the bookings and confirmations in one place
AllTrails
After over one hundred hikes, AllTrails is my go-to. Offline maps, trail reviews, and photos ensure I'm prepared for every adventure, even without cell service.
