Staff Software Engineer at Airbnb building the Unified Data Store, a mission-critical distributed storage platform powering user profiles, listings, and transactions. Focus on data access layer architecture, consistency models, and developer experience at global scale.
Airbnb was born in 2007 when two hosts welcomed three guests to their San Francisco home, and has since grown to over 5 million hosts who have welcomed over 2 billion guest arrivals in almost every country across the globe. Every day, hosts offer unique stays and experiences that make it possible for guests to connect with communities in a more authentic way.
