San Francisco Bay Area · Engineering leader
A principled, product-minded engineering leader. I was the founding engineer behind Google Family Link and grew it into the consent-and-trust platform hundreds of millions of families rely on — then led across Google's Assistant and Gemini stack and set platform strategy for the YouTube apps two billion people use. I go after ambitious problems where getting the technology right makes life genuinely better, and I build and lead the teams that ship them.
01
What I do
01
I take emerging, unproven technology — on-device AI, brand-new product categories — and turn it into something that works for millions. The demo is easy. Shipping it to millions isn't.
02
Product-minded and user-obsessed, especially where the stakes are highest. I sweat what to build and why — and I've done it for the people who give the least slack: parents, kids, and now patients.
03
From founding engineer writing the code to managing managers across a broad, billion-user portfolio. I build teams, set technical strategy, and lead through ambiguity, pivots, and scale.

Now
The work I want to be doing: frontier AI people have to trust.
The conviction is the one Family Link taught me: the technology only counts if the person it serves can trust it. So I care most about the settings where that is hardest and the stakes are highest — trust-critical AI, high-stakes, with a human in the loop where it counts. The fuller story is on the about page.
