About

Currently living & working in Los Angeles. I'm a frontend engineer focused on creating intuitive tools for complex workflows. I currently work as a Senior Software Engineer at Rivian and Volkswagen Group Technologies, where I lead frontend development for an AI-first developer experience platform that helps engineers understand build health, manage changes, and move software through the code-to-vehicle lifecycle. Previously, on Rivian's QMS team, I built quality and repair tooling for vehicle manufacturing with React and Three.js.
