As a kid, most of my toys were broken, becaause I had to take them apart and see how things worked.

Naturally, I gravitated to being an engineer, and the invisible software that makes everything tick.

I’ve worked with a lot of different things (See my projects)

Nordic Bluetooth, iOS Apps, Elasticsearch, Xamarin, S3, Garage Openers, Serverless, Figma Plugins, Raspberry Pi, Arduino, Alexa Skills, Javascript, Python, AWS, Azure.

I always find that the technology is really just a way to enable an experience. And I consistently find myself after building new experiences. As a result, I learn a lot of new things everyday.

If you ask me why I’m up till 5am on a Friday night, you’ll hear me tell you:

I just want to see it work.

I think I’m a true tech person in that regard - bringing things that people have never seen into the world and excited over the number of lives it could change (even though it might just another dud). I don’t shy away from picking up something new.

What I do

I work at Pinterest as a design technologist on the Gestalt Design System. I’m focused on thinking of workflows that make dev-design handoff easier, and building new tools on top of Figma at the intersection of both design and development.

Prior, I used to be a PM doing work with scaling the Windows codebase across thousands of engineers to keep code shipping frequently and with high quality. Kind of like this post but on a bigger scale and a few more challenges.

In between the two, I was a startup founder at Amna. I think there’s a world past GUIs as we know it, and I need some more time to experiment in the space.
