I have led first-class customer-facing mobile engineering projects for Apple, Pinterest, and Yahoo, and have independently contracted and advised on other top applications on the Apple App and Google Play Stores. I am an experienced engineering director and team lead who maintains expertise in the technologies my teams use. I both manage teams and guide the products they work on. I pride myself in the user-centric details that constitute the engineering side of user experience: smooth scrolling, efficient use of bandwidth, pixel-accuracy design, and deep collaboration across the stack to push the boundaries of mobile technology. Prior to focusing on mobile, I worked deep in the DSP of Mac OS and iOS at Apple, including echo cancellation for iPhone.
