I lead engineering for Yahoo Mail's Android organization and User Growth across Android, iOS, and Web. After a decade at Yahoo, I rejoined to spearhead products that serve hundreds of millions of users worldwide.

My career spans web development, product management, and engineering leadership. I've shipped Yahoo Mail (Norrin, Postcard, YM6), Yahoo Messenger, Yahoo Together, and led core engineering at Grindr through its IPO. I've also contributed to AI systems used by the TSA and Federal Air Marshals for airport security.

MS in Computer Science from USC (thesis: Game Theory and Human Behavior), BE from LNCT. Beyond engineering, I write poetry—some archived in the USC Libraries Lewis Carroll Collection.
