Who I am

I'm a software engineer based in the San Francisco Bay Area, currently at Google in Mountain View where I work on the mobile software stack. I've spent my career digging deep into systems — from embedded hardware to operating systems to the layers of software that make modern mobile devices work.

My academic roots are in computer architecture, OS design, RTOS, networking, and embedded systems — and those fundamentals still shape how I approach every problem. I believe great engineering is invisible: it just works, at scale, without drama.

Outside of work, I mentor students in STEM and occasionally build games for fun — because the best way to really understand a platform is to stress-test it creatively.
