I'm a software engineer who's been writing code since the age of 7. I care about open-source, self-hosted, and privacy-respecting software.

Professionally, I lead an engineering team at HubSpot. Before that, I was a tech lead at AWS, where the work I enjoyed most was:

• Designing a system to merge multiple enterprise BI dashboards, and leading 9 engineers across teams to ship it. Under the hood, it does distributed construction and reconciliation of dependency graphs across the data pipeline while ensuring correctness.
• Building a distributed rendering engine for pixel-perfect reports at scale, used by many Fortune 500 companies. I was one of four founding engineers and the project grew into its own organization. It was featured at the re:Invent keynote by the then-CEO.
• Working deeply with headless browsers, their performance, orchestration, and surrounding technologies. This led to contributing code back to Google's Puppeteer project and advising several teams across AWS in this domain.
