Director of Engineering · Full-Stack · AI-Native

I’m a hands-on Director of Engineering with 15+ years of full-stack experience, including building advertising systems at Amazon and financial infrastructure at Stripe—where reliability and performance are essential.

Today, I lead a team of four within a 10-person R&D organization, building agentic AI tools and platforms for advertising and media creation. I bring the same focus to dependable engineering: solid integrations, production-grade reliability, and thoughtful UX. I stay hands-on while leading the team and shaping the technology stack.

My approach brings the same care to AI systems that production software demands: solid integrations, reliable performance, and thoughtful user experiences. I see AI as a foundation for better products, not an add-on—and I’m committed to engineering excellence and AI that meaningfully complements the experiences people use.
