Engineering & product leader
I build consumer products by bringing engineering, science, and product together.
I'm an engineering and product leader based in Seattle. At Amazon I lead a 30-person organization spanning engineering, applied science, and product — owning customer-facing performance, observability across a 50,000+ service graph, and AI-driven code migration.
Before Amazon I spent over a decade at Microsoft shipping consumer products people use every day — Skype, Skype on HoloLens, and Bing Mobile — including stints in London and Zurich.
I care about empathetic leadership, growing engineers, and sponsoring women in engineering. These days I build and ship apps with AI as a way to stay close to the craft.

Things I build with AI outside the day job — a way to stay close to the craft while running an engineering org.
Real-time tracker for Washington State Ferries on iOS, Android, and web. Live vessel positions, upcoming departures, and drive-up space availability, plus personalized “leave by” times from a trimmed-mean model over your own recorded crossings. Serverless AWS CDK backend on the WSDOT ferry APIs.
Full-stack app where an extended family reserves days at a shared vacation home — with a booking-approval workflow, shared task tracking, local weather and tides, photo sharing, and an AI chat assistant. Built hands-on across the AWS stack (Cognito, Lambda, DynamoDB, API Gateway, SES, Bedrock, S3, CloudFront) behind a cross-platform React Native front end.
A custom cross-platform app built as a personal birthday gift — an animated card with ASCII art, confetti cannons, balloons, and interactive fireworks, bundled with a few homemade mini-games (basketball, Snake, and a Wordle clone).
Point a phone camera at a spinning record and it measures the turntable's true speed and wow-and-flutter in real time — tracking the label's rotation frame-by-frame through an FFT and phase-correlation pipeline, no test record or strobe disc required. The signal-processing core is dependency-free and unit-tested.
The best way to reach me is on LinkedIn. I'm always happy to talk product, platform, and team building.
