About me

Now

I’m currently a Director of Engineering at Squarespace, where I lead two engineering organizations:

I also manage a small, focused team of 2 Principal Engineers and 1 Staff Engineer focused on CMS architecture.

Previously I helped found the International engineering effort as a Staff Engineer and Team Lead and led/grew the teams as a Senior Engineering Manager.

The content of this blog does not reflect the opinion of my employer.

Before

Before Squarespace I was an Engineering Manager on the Product Infrastructure team at Etsy. Other roles I held during my tenure at Etsy included the Engineering Manager/founding engineer of the Accessibility Engineering team, and Senior Software Engineer on the Front-end Infrastructure, Mobile Web and Web Performance teams.

Previous to Etsy I worked at an agency building coca-colacompany.com, and before that I worked at a government contractor building full-stack web applications.

Everything else

When I have lessons to share I enjoy speaking at conferences.

In my free time I like to spend time with my family, explore diverse cuisines, cook, and play golf. I love but rarely update my cooking blog: Food Don’t Lie.

I’m a leukemia survivor and the creator of cheekswab.org. I use my story to engage with ethnic minority groups and coordinate bone marrow drives in New York City and nearby areas. Please visit Cheekswab or reach out to me directly to learn more about bone marrow donation and joining the BeTheMatch Bone Marrow Registry. It truly is the lottery to save a life.

I’m probably listening to 90s hip hop.
