WORK EXPERIENCE

May 2026 — Present

Senior Engineering Manager

C3 AI · Redwood City, CA

Lead engineering initiatives at the intersection of developer productivity, AI-native workflows, build systems, and platform quality. Continued expanding agentic approaches to engineering, building on earlier work to identify where autonomous workflows can improve productivity and decision-making. Built visibility into AI developer-tool adoption and spend, guided teams through organizational change, and continue to mentor technical leaders while turning complex engineering challenges into scalable opportunities.

May 2025 — May 2026

Engineering Manager

C3 AI · Redwood City, CA

Managed three engineering teams focused on developer productivity, quality, documentation, and platform performance. Set multi-quarter roadmaps and delivered through significant resource constraints, including scalable performance-testing systems that helped application teams identify bottlenecks and improve release readiness. Added agentic capabilities to the performance-testing workflow so results could automatically surface and explain bottlenecks, giving developers and future autonomous agents clearer paths to improvement. Architected and led the company’s documentation platform, consolidating content from dozens of repositories into a scalable system for external traffic, establishing long-term engineering ownership, and introducing agentic search capabilities. Developed engineers through mentorship, hiring, and thoughtful team leadership while driving alignment across engineering, product, QA, operations, and documentation teams.
