My Journey

Overview

My journey is a tale of continuous learning and evolving skill in crafting innovative solutions. Starting in consulting, I adapted to diverse methods and environments, honing a wide range of problem-solving techniques. Eventually, this path led me to lead projects at Google, where I lead initiatives with multi-million dollar impact. Through it all, I have had the pleasure of working on products with hundreds of users to platforms with millions of users.
