About

Building great developer experiences

I have 10 years of experience working with APIs and over 8 years on cloud platforms. I am passionate about products, platforms, and APIs — and the developer experiences that make them delightful to use. My career has been shaped by a drive to bridge technical complexity with clear, scalable product thinking, working at the intersection of fintech infrastructure and developer tooling.
