About

Hello! I’m a software engineer in Orange County, CA, currently working at Snapchat. Previously, I spent four years at Amazon, and before that I worked at several startups.

I have a bit of an unusual path to software engineering. I originally went to film school with Big Plans to become a cinematographer, and ended up falling into tech during an internship at a post-production company. Turns out I loved the problem-solving and building aspects of software more than I expected. You can read the full story in my path to software engineering.

I write about building and scaling software systems, engineering practices, career growth, and lessons I’ve learned along the way. You can check out some of my popular posts to get a sense of what I write about.
