VP Engineering @ ParshipMeet Group
June 2023 - today
Since my promotion to the team lead position, I’ve had the privilege of growing into even more leadership roles. First being promoted to Head of Engineering in June 2023, and most recently stepping into the role of VP Engineering in June 2025. In this capacity, I lead a dynamic team of over 50 engineers driving the development of our platform, which powers three leading matchmaking brands: eharmony, Parship, and ElitePartner. My responsibilities span development, quality assurance, cross-functional collaboration, and shaping our technology strategy—making this both a challenging and deeply rewarding role.
