I am the Senior Director of Engineering, Strategy & Operations at Personio. I lead a team of Technical Program Managers and Engineering Operations Managers to drive strategic technical initiatives and operational efficiency across Engineering. My remit spans AI for Engineering applications, overall product reliability and performance, and infrastructure modernization.
At Instagram (Meta), I led the TPM function for the Home Product Group—covering Feed, Explore, Search, Profile, and Instagram Direct—scaling ML infrastructure and ranking platforms, improving messaging quality, performance and reliability, and modernizing notifications, design systems, and web and lite clients.
Before joining Meta, I helped architect and build HBO’s new Big Data analytics platform on AWS, headed up the data team at Axial and was the first Product Manager at CB Insights.
I started out my career at Microsoft where I worked in the Operating Systems Division and hacked on the Plug & Play subsystem in NT Kernel.
I graduated with a B.S. in Electrical & Computer Engineering and an A.B. in Mathematics from Lafayette College and an MBA from Chicago Booth.
Interests include leadership and management philosophy, biographies and functional programming (focus on expressiveness of languages). I also enjoy cooking, mechanical keyboards and fountain pens. I live in Cranford, NJ with my wife and two kids.
