About You

You're a technical strategist who thrives at the intersection of data, technology, and user behavior. You see patterns where others see complexity, translating crawl budget and ranking algorithms into business impact that resonates with executives and engineers alike. Your curiosity about AI-driven discovery keeps you ahead of the curve, while your pragmatic approach ensures today's technical foundations are rock-solid. You build trust across product, engineering, and UX teams through clear communication and collaborative problem-solving, but you're equally comfortable championing bold experimentation when the data supports it. Above all, you're energized by scale—knowing that your technical optimizations can influence how millions discover and engage with content they love.
