About

A little context

I'm currently a Senior UX Engineer, Tech Lead on Ads Marketing at Google, where I set architecture direction and technical standards for a shared design system and component library used across multiple product teams. Day to day, that spans everything from TypeScript infrastructure decisions to hands-on implementation to design and code review.

Before that, I worked on Google Payments' buy-flow surfaces (100M+ users), modernized internal tooling on Azure at Microsoft, and built real-time trade processing systems at Highbridge Capital Management. Across all of it, the throughline has been the same: taking a feature from an early concept through to a production system that holds up at scale — and building the frontend infrastructure, design systems, and (more recently) AI tooling that make the next feature faster to ship correctly.

A good amount of my recent work sits at that AI-tooling intersection specifically — prompt and context engineering on one side, the code-review standards that keep agent output honest on the other. My short version: an agent is a fast, occasionally overconfident collaborator, not a replacement for judgment. I'll write more about that on the blog →
