Systems that move data and money, and have to be right.
Five years across big tech, fintech, gaming and a brokerage. The common thread is software where correctness is the product.
Experience
Entrepreneur First
Entrepreneur in Residence
Six months of trying to be wrong as quickly as possible about what to build.
- Evaluated ideas across consumer AI, compliance tooling and agentic workflows.
- Ran high-throughput customer validation calls to disqualify unviable ideas within days rather than months.
Meta
Software Engineer
Data quality and reliability for the recruiting pipeline — six million candidate records and the third-party data that enriches them.
- Built entity-resolution logic that matches candidate records to third-party profiles through name collisions and ambiguous identity signals: 1.4M mismatches resolved, 120K bad enrichments removed, accuracy up from 83.3% to 84.6%.
- Defined SLIs and SLOs for the pipeline, then built the dashboards and on-call alerts that cut the time to detect enrichment failures.
- Raised code quality from 80% to 92% and test coverage from 68% to 76% by expanding test suites and migrating legacy libraries.

Bookkeeping infrastructure for small businesses: payments, reconciliation and the plumbing between them.
- Built a reconciliation engine that auto-matches Stripe, QuickBooks and Plaid transactions with rule-based logic, making bookkeeping 3× faster.
- Reworked Stripe onboarding for 250+ clients with a webhook-driven flow that surfaces pending KYC requirements before they become support tickets.
