About Me
Technical Director & Software Engineer
Building high performing teams and the environment that enables them.
With over a decade of experience in software development and team leadership, I've worked with companies ranging from small startups to large enterprises. My focus has been on identifying opportunities and challenges on project teams, and working with stakeholders to implement effective solutions.
I've influenced the multi-year evolution of multiple enterprise products which are in production today, and I've collaborated with CTOs and other technical directors to identify trends in technology and develop plans to enable engineering teams to meet current and future needs.
