About
I'm a software engineer with a strong foundation in system design and experience building scalable, production-grade applications and services. My work spans mobile development, backend services, and cloud infrastructure, with hands-on experience in real-time data, authentication, subscriptions, monitoring, and artificial intelligence–powered features. I’ve shipped multiple products and features at Microsoft, including Transcript Translations and Audio Descriptions in Microsoft Stream, as well as agentic experiences within Office AI.
In my personal time, I build cross-platform iOS and Android products, integrate LLM APIs, and contribute to open source. I'm motivated by working in professional engineering environments while also advancing Bitcoin technology and adoption through practical, security-focused software.
