Agent Experience

Founded and lead Coinbase’s AI developer tooling organization across multiple pods. Own company-wide AI engineering strategy and enablement so engineers can productively adopt agentic workflows.

Governed agent platform

Built the platform layer for coding agents, harnesses, sandboxes, MCPs, and skills — with compliance, risk, and change-management aligned to how Coinbase ships. Scaled AI-assisted review into the default PR path.

Platform / App Infra

Previously led Retail Web & Mobile infrastructure: operational excellence, CI/CD, performance, and foundational platform strategy through company-wide reliability and performance crises.
