about

I am a Senior Director of Engineering at Pinterest. Pinterest is the visual inspiration platform where people come to search, save, and shop the best ideas in the world for all of life’s moments. I lead a talented group that builds the foundation for all Android, iOS, Web, API, and Design Systems development at Pinterest.

Prior to Pinterest, I led Android and iOS product development and platform teams at Twitch. Before that, I was an Android (and sometimes iOS) Engineer at Evernote – making a productivity tool used and loved by millions even better. And before Evernote I was a Mobile Engineer at Smule, where I split my time between Android and iOS development.

I am an avid StarCraft 2 player (Protoss). My favorite units are Photon Cannons and Carriers. I enjoy reading, playing video games, running, rucking, weight-lifting, and listening to video game music. I am partial to JRPGs: my favorite games include Valkyrie Profile, Final Fantasy X, Expedition 33, NieR: Automata, Grandia II, Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars, Star Ocean: The Second Story, Tales of Symphonia, Terranigma, and every single Xenoblade game. My favorite video game composers are Yasunori Mitsuda, Yoko Shimomura, Keiichi Okabe, and Lorien Testard.

I received my B.S. in Computer Science at Princeton University, along with a certificate in Portuguese and Spanish Languages and Cultures. My senior thesis, advised by Dan Trueman, was titled Synchronization over Networks for Live Laptop Music Performance, and resulted in the creation of LOrkNeT.
