ABOUT ME
Experienced full-stack engineer (previously @ Microsoft, IDM/BMGF, TMobile, Tableau, and Salesforce)
Experienced full-stack engineer (previously @ Microsoft, IDM/BMGF, TMobile, Tableau, and Salesforce)
With over 25 years in the software industry, I bring a robust mix of hands-on engineering and management expertise. Currently, I lead the teams for Gemini Code Assist at Google, where we develop and scale backend systems and extensions for both VSCode and IntelliJ to deliver high-performance code assistance.
As a startup founder and an innovator, I enjoy wearing multiple hats, diving into new technologies, and taking prototypes from rapid development to production-scale systems. Proficient in over 15 programming languages, I primarily focus on JavaScript, TypeScript, Node.js, Electron, and Web technologies, with occasional use of Python. My approach is rooted in scalable solutions and inspiring teams to deliver impactful results.

I have worked 23 years of experience working with Javascript from the early days of JScript / Javascript to ES6/ES7/ES8 and NodeJS. I have worked on large-scale distributed systems and built some of the most complex UI's.
I have worked with JS to build complex Single-Page Applications in Epidemiological Modeling, Bing Search, and Outlook Web Access. I have highly specialized skills as a Performance Expert in Javascript. My spatiotemporal visualizations using Javascript were featured in a TED talk by a well-known influential person.
