As an experienced engineering leader with a bachelor’s degree in computer science, complemented by an MBA, I build bridges between business and technology departments. Using a return-on-investment mindset, I leverage best practices such as infrastructure as code, continuous integration, continuous delivery (CI/CD), and testing automation to deliver high-quality software products.My personal leadership philosophy is based on Respect, Responsibility, and Return on Investment:🔹 Respect – I actively seek out what is unique, special, or distinct about someone to employ their strengths for the business and create job satisfaction for the employee.🔹 Responsibility – I strive to clearly define, document, and communicate responsibilities while encouraging discussion and negotiation to ensure the agreement is a win for both sides.🔹 Return on Investment – I encourage Lean methodologies to reduce waste and to ensure effort goes towards adding value for the customer.From my experience in software engineering leadership, I am a strong advocate for:• Super-light, easy to understand processes.• Complete automation of CI/CD that includes testing.• Deploying many small software changes rather than one large software deployment.My business education gives me in-depth insight into areas such as:• Finance – financial statement analysis, accounting, and budgeting.• Data-driven decision-making – quality control, system reliability, and linear regressions.• Operations management – business strategy, productivity, and total quality management.
