About

I'm a Senior Software Engineer with 10+ years of experience across backend and platform engineering: distributed systems, data migrations, and performance-critical APIs. I recently joined Canva's Video AI Engine team, the group behind AI-powered video features like Magic Video and the Video Design Agent (VDA). I'm comfortable owning a solution end to end; at my best when there's a real technical constraint to solve, not just features to ship.
