With over 8 years of experience in software engineering, I am passionate about building scalable, reliable, and user-friendly applications that serve millions of members and customers. As the Director of Engineering at LinkedIn, I lead a team of talented engineers who design and develop the API frameworks and services ecosystem for the flagship app. My mission is to empower the engineering community to deliver high-quality products and features faster and more efficiently, while ensuring the best performance and security standards. I value innovation, collaboration, and learning, and I strive to create a culture of trust, feedback, and growth among my team and peers.In my current role, I am leading a complete re-write of the app that breaks the monolith into several micro-services, which is the biggest rewrite of the app since its creation. This project involves 400+ engineers across 20+ teams spanning 5+ orgs in 3 different time zones, and is projected to improve dev downtime by 80%+ and set the app to keep scaling at an unprecedented 40%+ Y/Y growth rate. I also chair the Sr SWE Promotion committee for the Consumer Engineering Org, and mentor and coach other engineers and managers.
