About

I've spent ~12 years as a Staff-level engineer across Alphabet and Waymo, and I'm currently co-founder and CTO of an a16z Speedrun-backed startup. At Google I spent 8 years as a Staff SWE and led the rebuild of YouTube; at Waymo I spent 4 years as a Staff Research SWE working on AI/ML. Outside of work I've trained and open-sourced large-scale generative models used by a community in the hundreds of thousands. I've done 150+ real and mock interviews. I'm happy to run most formats, but I add the most value in System Design and ML System Design mocks for senior/staff candidates - especially the part people underestimate, which is demonstrating staff-level scope and judgment rather than just producing a correct architecture.
