Professional Experience
I’ve spent most of my career at Expedia, where the constant change, fast pace, and customer-facing challenges have kept things interesting — which is key for someone who gets bored easily. Over the years, I’ve had the chance to work across a wide range of projects, teams, and technologies, and that variety has helped me grow into a versatile and resilient engineering leader. Today, I run a 60+ person engineering team, where I focus on improving our architecture, streamlining how we work, and partnering closely with the business to deliver real impact.
