At Meta, I connected people and businesses through a seamless messaging experience.

Prior to that, I helped design the cross-platform messaging experience for open-source collaboration platform Mattermost; additionally, I led product design at Hily, a top 5 dating app. Under my design direction, Hily scaled up livestream functionality to allow singles to connect on a deeper level, and to get rewarded for their interactions.  

My dual background in Applied Mathematics and Psychology allows me to thrive in both getting into users' heads to feel their pain points and connecting with engineering teams' rigorous thinking.
