At Meta, I’ve contributed to Ads Manager and AI tooling that streamlines our internal developer productivity — building products that serve both global advertisers and internal teams.My strength lies in translating complex, highly technical challenges into simple, intuitive experiences. I love collaborating with cross-functional partners — especially other designers, engineers, and researchers — to uncover elegant solutions that make an outsized impact.I thrive at the intersection of design, technology, and problem-solving, and I’m energized by opportunities to make complicated systems feel seamless for the people who rely on them.
