Over 15+ years, my work has spanned a lot of different surfaces, including native apps, quality engineering, developer tooling, CI/CD, platform infrastructure, harness engineering, and more recently, the agentic tooling layer that sits on top of all of it. My role is basically to parachute in and out of different projects and teams wherever I can create the most leverage. These days, a lot of that work involves figuring out where AI tooling actually earns its keep.

I've come to enjoy the kind of problems that live at the end of the road, which I've taken to calling the last 10%. It's the gap between code that runs and code that's truly deployable in production, the kind you can trust to keep working on its worst day. That's where I think most of the interesting engineering actually happens. I write about some of it in my newsletter, The Last 10%.

Before landing in health tech at Amazon One Medical, I spent time in travel and consumer search, different kinds of fast-moving environments that taught me a lot about systems people actually rely on.

Fun fact, I started my Masters at USC in Aeronautical Engineering and switched to Computer Science mid-program after falling in love with the way writing code tickles my brain. And I'm so glad I did.
