About
With a robust background in computer engineering from San Jose State University, I have cultivated a diverse career in the tech industry. Currently, I serve as an Embedded Software Restore - Server Engineer at Apple, where I contribute to the CoreOS team, ensuring seamless iOS software updates and restores. Prior to this, I honed my skills at Flickr as a Performance Engineer, DBA, and Operations specialist, focusing on site reliability and performance. My journey also includes a pivotal role as Operations Manager at Socializr, Inc., where I collaborated with the founder to develop a scalable operations platform. At Friendster, I was a Senior Systems Administrator, responsible for designing and implementing technological processes. My career began as an IT Manager at Sonora Entertainment Group, where I maintained IT systems and assisted in planning for new theatre build-outs. My experience spans across operations, engineering, and IT management, reflecting a commitment to technological excellence.
