Experienced software engineer with a strong background in cloud technologies.
United StatesWhat I'm looking for
I'm a dedicated software engineer with over 4.5 years of experience at Google, where I've contributed to significant projects like the Google Cloud Console and Google Slides. My journey began at Case Western Reserve University, where I earned my B.A. in Computer Science. Since then, I've been fortunate to work on innovative products that enhance user experience and drive engagement.
At Google, I played a pivotal role in launching the Slides Recording feature, which now sees over 100k daily users. My experience spans various technologies, including JavaScript, TypeScript, and Angular, and I've successfully built a Chrome extension that gained 10k users. I thrive in collaborative environments, having been part of teams that successfully exited Google's startup incubator, and I'm passionate about mentoring the next generation of engineers through my career coaching program.
