What I'm looking for

I’m looking to own end-to-end Android features where reliability matters—partnering with product/design/data, running experiments, and shipping measurable launches. I want strong engineering operations (testing, monitoring, alerts) and modern tools to improve performance and quality.

I’m a Senior Software Engineer with 15+ years building large-scale Android products at Meta, Zillow, ServiceChannel, and Blackboard. I specialize in native mobile architecture, performance optimization, experimentation, feature rollout, and production reliability—turning loosely defined problems into well-scoped technical plans, measurable launches, and post-launch improvements.

At Meta (WhatsApp Business), I’ve shipped subscriptions and rollout-critical systems with a track record of zero SEV1/SEV2 incidents, and led 5+ Meta Verified initiatives across multi-quarter roadmaps from engineering spec through A/B testing to 100% rollout. I also drive operational discipline through testing, monitoring, debugging, dashboards, alerts, and production support, and I use modern, AI-assisted development tools to accelerate refactoring, migration, and test coverage while protecting quality, correctness, and user experience.
