I'm a software engineer at Figma with a focus on web performance and frontend platform development.

Earlier, I worked at Grammarly as a DX Software Engineer. Before that, I spent 6 years at Squarespace, rounding out my time there as Tech Lead of Web Performance.

From time to time, I write about my work. and other things I'm thinking about or working on.
