Currently working at Canva as an Engineering Manager, leading a team of backend and ML engineers. We work on making sense of content - extracting signals that power search, generative AI, and a range of other user-facing features across the platform. I am particularly interested in the topics of search & recommendation technology, engineering/team culture, leadership and inclusion.
