Engineer. Coach.

I empower people who want to make the best out of their life and the lives of those around them.

As an engineer at Airbnb, I build the platform for a world where anyone can belong anywhere. As a coach, I focus on supporting computer scientists, educators and green engineers.

The teams I work with consist of ambitious, candid individuals who want to maximize their positive impact while living fulfilled and true to themselves.
