I am a passionate software leader with over 15 years of experience professionally developing software and 5 years of experience as a software executive. I have written software across a broad spectrum of domains, including data analysis and simulation for particle physics research, cloud storage and collaboration for large enterprises, and drug discovery tools for pharmaceutical and biotech companies. I love building products that use cutting edge technology to solve real world problems, as highlighted, for example, in AWS' startup blog:https://aws.amazon.com/blogs/startups/how-emerald-cloud-lab-is-revolutionizing-the-laboratory-using-aws/and the real world serverless podcast:https://realworldserverless.com/episode/64I am a deeply technical and hands on leader who loves technology. My deepest expertise is in writing large scale distributed systems using technologies like AWS, golang, postgres, and kubernetes, but I have experience across most modern technologies, including mobile, web, and desktop development. I have learned that I'm often able to maximize my impact by growing teams, building a collaborative, growth oriented culture, and developing tools and processes that allow the engineers in my organization to do their best work.My ideal role would be Head of Engineering at a rapidly growing, series B or later company that has a collaborative, interdisciplinary culture where delighting your customer and being empowered to do your best work are key values. I would like to spend the majority of my time developing and evangelizing a technical vision, hiring and growing teams, and developing processes to enable my teams to be successful, as well as having some time to do hands on technical work.
