Work
My path so far has run from data engineering to cross-team collaboration on one of the largest streaming entertainment platforms. I started out building data pipelines and billing systems at Chevron, then joined Disney’s self-service ad platform while it was still young and have helped grow it into the product advertisers use to reach audiences on Hulu, Disney+ and ESPN+. As a lead individual contributor, I’m still hands-on in the code every day while also leading projects and initiatives that span multiple teams.

Lead Software Engineer
I lead cross-team projects on Disney’s self-service ad platform, most recently modernizing it to support content bundle offerings, which quickly became a meaningful source of booked revenue. Today I’m leading a redesign of how the platform prices ad campaigns, simplifying the systems behind it.

Senior Software Engineer
I made booking dramatically faster across several systems and built campaign and asset-ingestion features that helped grow the platform’s customer base. I also built team-wide agentic coding workflows and mentored engineers and interns.
