What I'm looking for

I seek senior-level engineering roles building mobile or in-vehicle systems where I can lead architecture, mentor teams, and deliver customer-facing multimedia and embedded features.

I am a senior software engineer focused on mobile and in-vehicle systems, with deep experience in Android AOSP, camera ecosystems, and cross-platform mobile development.

At Rivian I led multi-team efforts for Camera, Voice Assistant, DriveCam, LiveCam, GearGuard, and SystemUI, delivering production features deployed to 144K+ R1T/R1S and 25K+ EDV vehicles and serving as architect for the Video App Foundation Service.

Previously I contributed as a founding member of Alexa Mobile Accessories at Amazon, shipping protocols and SDKs used across Echo Auto, Echo Buds, Echo Frames and partner devices, and delivering middleware (RxRN) adopted in production.

I mentor engineers, run interviews across levels, hold multiple patent filings, and enjoy prototyping developer experiences and AR demos to reduce iteration churn and delight customers.
