👋 I'm Scott, a software engineer based in San Francisco. Since 2011, I've worked in mobile and platform engineering, focusing on the systems and engineering culture that help teams build, ship, and maintain software over time. I'm currently on the Platform team at Speak.

Over the course of my career, I've moved from product engineering toward shaping the systems and engineering culture through architecture, testing infrastructure, release engineering, observability, code quality, and large-scale migrations.

The blog posts here are a reflection of that experience.

Highlights

  • Tech lead for Lyft's 150-engineer Mobile organization after joining as the first dedicated iOS engineer
  • Founded Lyft's iOS Architecture team and scaled its architecture and modularization approach across an 80+ engineer iOS organization
  • Currently on Speak's Platform team working on CI/CD, release automation, observability, reusable voice infrastructure, and AI workflows

Experience

Speak (current)

At Speak, I focus on the systems that make a fast-moving mobile product easier to build, ship, and operate reliably as the team and codebase grow. The work focuses on the platform capabilities and engineering practices that support scaling that growth.

Lyft (2014 – 2025)

At Lyft, I started in product engineering and moved into platform and architecture work as the mobile organization grew. That shift took me from building rider and driver features to defining the systems, standards, and technical direction that let the broader organization scale without losing quality.
