Volley is now Weekend!

I joined the company as a career-transition engineer from hospitality and spent 4.5 years shipping features across five projects across 5 different platforms. My work spans zero-to-one product development, architectural migrations, and UX experimentation, with measurable impact on conversion, retention, and feature velocity.
