I'm an Software Engineering Leader that helps engineering teams get better at building, testing, and deploying the right software.
I'm passionate about creating well-tested and architected software that solves real user problems. Coupled with my creative roots, this gives me a unique approach to software development, team growth, and business.
Over the last 15+ years, I've worn many hats and learned the importance of blending business strategy, design, and well-built software to create strong digital experiences.
Since emigrating to the US, I've had a serendipitous path to leading engineering teams but it's been a fulfilling journey. Previously, I worked as an animator, print designer, consultant, full-stack software developer, and founder.
Through working with various startups, teams, and projects, I've gained the experience of shipping complex applications at scale and more recently helping to empower engineering teams.
I'm currently working as a founding engineer at a (secret) B2B startup that helps eCommerce sellers drive more revenue by streamlining their shipping and operations.
I also advise startups and enterprises on how to plan, build, and ship better software while building people-focused processes.
Outside of my professional work, I also work with the following organizations as a mentor/advisor: TechStars, DevColor, 81Cents, Code2040, and Merit.
When I'm not helping engineering teams, you'll find me prepping my car for a track day, cycling, or spending time with my family.
Almost a decade ago I started curating mixtapes of internet music that inspired me to create. You can listen to them on Soundcloud.
I'm open to speaking engagements, coaching or mentorship requests, and other interesting opportunities.
