About

My entire career has been centered around the tech industry.

I started from the ground floor of computing designing chips and moved higher up in the tech stack with a software engineering role. I wanted to drive product strategy, so I transitioned to a product management role at a travel startup followed by a gaming company.

After an MBA at UCLA Anderson, I joined the Cloud Platform team at VMware to work on the core compute product, vSphere. Containers, VMs, and Kubernetes were key technological areas I worked in for three and a half years.

Following a stint at Google working on internal compute infrastructure (Borg), I currently work on product at Temporal!
