Work
This page showcases my main career achievements, including the most impactful projects I worked on during my time at Meta both as a software engineer as well as a software engineering manager.
Work Projects
WhatsApp redesign
- Role:
- Software engineering manager
- Year:

Over the years, WhatsApp had primarily focused on adding utility to the app. As the product continued to grow in functionality, the design needed to evolve as well. We wanted the product to feel more fresh and modern without disrupting its core functionality. The WhatsApp redesign was announced via the official Facebook blog. Moreover, the update was promulgated by Forbes, TechCrunch, Mashable and Yahoo!.
WhatsApp Channels

WhatsApp Channels are a simple, reliable, and private way to receive important updates from people and organizations, right within WhatsApp. Channels are a one-way broadcast tool for admins to send text, photos, videos, stickers, and polls. This feature was announced by Mark Zuckerberg with a post on his Facebook profile and via the official WhatsApp blog. The news was also reported by CNBC, Reuters, TechCrunch, The Verge and many more.
WhatsApp Status updates

Status on WhatsApp is a popular way to share updates with friends and close contacts. Similar to Stories on Facebook and Instagram, every status disappears in 24 hours. A team I managed in WhatsApp, the "Status & Camera" team, developed a set of new features for Status: Status reactions, Voice Status, Status profile rings for new updates, and a new audience selector. This set of features was announced via the official WhatsApp blog and the Meta newsroom as well as being covered by TechCrunch and Yahoo! among others.
