Meta
Digital product platform engineering for $3B+ in annual revenue.
Fastest E3→E4→E5 promo cycle in org history through ownership of increasingly ambiguous systems. Tech lead for mobile purchase funnels across clients, billing, fulfillment, and entitlement correctness. Full-stacking through problems that refused to stay in one layer.
Interning, shipping, and asking better questions.
Delivered the project in half the planned timeline, then spent the rest of the summer learning how large product systems move across privacy, product, and infrastructure boundaries.
Amazon (AWS)

UBC Sauder School of Business
A dual business and computer science program across the full abstraction stack: society, business, organizations, software, and low-level systems. Strategy, systems, people, code. Context switching as a credential.
