What I'm looking for

I'm looking for a role that challenges my technical skills and offers opportunities for leadership and mentorship.

I'm a Senior Software Engineer with extensive experience in leading projects and developing innovative software solutions. Currently, I work at Stytch, where I spearhead the development of new authorization features, collaborating closely with product teams to ensure successful implementation and customer adoption. My role involves creating comprehensive documentation and monitoring systems to enhance user experience and operational efficiency.

Previously, I served as a tech lead at Brex and Doordash, where I managed feature rollouts and led teams in identifying process improvements. My background includes designing scalable systems and implementing best practices in coding and project management. I take pride in mentoring junior developers and fostering a collaborative team environment that prioritizes high-quality code and effective communication.
