I started my career on the community side of tech, long before I wrote a single line of production code. I spent years inside fast moving online communities, learning how people behave, how products are adopted, and how communication shapes the way users experience technology. Over time, that work pushed me toward building the products themselves rather than only supporting them.I worked across several community and social roles, from moderating global channels to managing creator programs, leading community teams, and handling regional communication for web3 companies. Each role taught me something different. How to understand user sentiment. How to build trust at scale. How to manage chaos when communities grow faster than the systems behind them. And most importantly, how to translate user needs into practical decisions for the product team.That experience became the foundation for my transition into development. I co founded Vanilila Labs as a frontend developer and learned how to bring ideas to life through code. I enjoyed building interfaces, turning feedback into features, and understanding how engineering and community work together to shape the final product.At Clover Labs, I have worked across both customer success and engineering. I helped lead the customer success team, supporting companies using our AI products, and now work as a full stack developer focused on building and scaling the AI growth agents portfolio. I enjoy solving problems through clean engineering, improving how our systems run, and creating a better experience for the people who rely on our tools.A major part of what we build at Clover is RedRover, our AI system that helps brands grow through Reddit. Many companies want to use Reddit but find it too unpredictable and time consuming to manage manually. RedRover scans real conversations, identifies the ones that matter, and helps brands join them naturally and consistently.My work focuses on building the features and systems that make this possible, while also bringing my community background into the process so the product stays aligned with how people actually speak and behave online.Across everything I have done, the theme has stayed the same. Build things that people enjoy using. Support users in a way that feels human. And create systems that scale without losing the personal connection that communities rely on.If you work in engineering, community, or AI driven growth, I am always open to connecting.
