I started by co-founding Assembly Inc through YC to rethink manufacturing quality control. At Figma, I worked on the collaboration and performance that helped it become the tool every designer reaches for. At Curative, I led engineering as we scaled to 7000 people and 36M+ COVID tests at the height of the pandemic. Now I'm building Thousand Birds — infrastructure for AI agents.
