Engineer Technical lead/ Chime

I am a Technical Lead with over a decade of experience building and scaling complex systems at the intersection of backend engineering and machine learning. My career has been defined by a passion for bridging the gap between data science and production-ready infrastructure, particularly within high-growth environments like Chime, Airbnb, and Yahoo.

Currently, I lead engineering initiatives on the Growth team at Chime, where I focus on low-latency backend systems and engagement platforms that drive real-time personalization. Prior to this, I specialized in ML-driven fraud detection and inventory quality at Airbnb, and architected petabyte-scale data pipelines at Yahoo for global ad systems.
