What I'm looking for

I'm looking for contract technical-lead or staff-level Android work where I can build 0-to-1 products, improve performance and reliability, and lead complex cross-functional delivery across mobile, backend, AI, and real-time systems.

I've built and shipped 0-to-1 Android products at Meta across Facebook, Messenger, Instagram, Portal, and Workplace. Most recently, I architected AI You Pro for Facebook and served as Uber Tech Lead for a 40+ engineer organization spanning post-training, infrastructure, backend, and mobile.

I turn complex mobile systems into measurable product outcomes: I reduced time to responsive content from 3.5 seconds to 0.8 seconds, improved RAG knowledge retrieval success from 0.5% to 89%, and led Messenger AI iterations that increased user-generated-content sender daily active users by 180–280%.

I've also led calling, encryption, signaling, reliability, and architecture programs across Meta products, including a patent-pending multitenancy architecture for Portal calling. I work comfortably from rapid codebase onboarding and prototyping through architecture reviews, cross-functional delivery, quality instrumentation, and production rollout.
