About

I graduated from UC Berkeley in 2008 with a bachelor's degree in computer science. I worked in startups for a decade, joining all of them as one of the first engineering hires, with multiple exits. I have played a critical role in designing interview processes and have conducted many technical interviews. I also spent seven years working as a freelancer and consultant. Most recently, I led the infrastructure team at StyleSeat.

I have been working with computers for almost my entire life. I've built complete products, as well as core features, including: Android and iOS SDKs, web frontends, backend services, high performance computing applications in C and assembly, and deployment pipelines.
