Software Engineer at Dropbox

Hey everyone, I’m a Senior Software Engineer with ~10 years of experience building and scaling production systems at high-growth tech companies, including Block (Square/Cash App), Samsara, Wickr, and currently Dropbox. My work has focused on large-scale distributed systems, payments infrastructure, data migrations, observability, and more recently Generative AI platforms used by thousands of developers. I’ve worked on systems handling billions of dollars in weekly transaction volume, led cross-team technical initiatives during acquisitions, and helped teams raise the engineering bar during periods of rapid growth. In addition to my day-to-day work, I’ve successfully cleared software engineering interview loops at Uber, Airbnb, and Coinbase, which gives me strong perspective on how different top-tier companies evaluate candidates at the senior and staff levels. I really enjoy coaching candidates and tend to add the most value in system design and senior/staff-level technical interviews, especially for engineers who already have strong fundamentals but want to stand out through clearer tradeoff reasoning, communication, and real-world architecture decisions. I’ve participated in and conducted hundreds of real and mock interviews, so I have a good sense of what interviewers actually care about in practice. My default format is a 45-minute realistic interview simulation followed by about 15 minutes of direct, actionable feedback, though I’m also happy to give feedback inline if that’s more helpful. My goal is for sessions to feel practical, honest, and confidence-building rather than performative. If you’re targeting senior+ roles and want feedback grounded in real production experience, I’m happy to help.
