About
I’m a Member of Technical Staff at OpenAI.
Before OpenAI, I spent nearly four years at Netflix building the activity logging and eventing infrastructure behind critical content and studio workflows. I led cross-functional platform initiatives, designed systems that handled billions of records, and helped engineers adopt AI in their daily work.
I care about ambitious products, scalable systems, and tools that make difficult work feel simple.
