I am a software engineering executive with deep technical expertise in systems architecture, database design, application design, process architecture, and system performance. Passionate about blending technical expertise with business leadership to create high-performing technical teams, I additionally thrive on finding creative solutions to complex technology problems, driving continuous improvement, and producing strong business outcomes. I began my career as a consultant for DRT Systems International, the systems implementation arm of Deloitte, where I rapidly advanced to principal and led key functions across employee management and technical management. Subsequently, I founded my own software engineering consultancy, Metis Technologies, where I handled a wide range of projects involving database development, management, and administration surrounding the Sybase SQL Server and Microsoft SQL Server for multiple clients in technology, healthcare, and professional services. As part of my consultancy work, I advised executive leadership and maintained software development lifecycle (SDLC) accountability for business analysis, requirements, specifications, development, testing, and production.Since 2014, I have worked in a variety of executive-level engineering roles for TicketNetwork, an e-commerce marketplace for buyers and sellers of tickets to entertainment events. I bring a blend of business and technical leadership with a relentless focus on hiring, training, and developing highly skilled technical teams who are determined to collaborate and build great systems. In my current role as Senior Vice President of Engineering, my key areas of focus include IT operations, database systems, and product management.To learn more about TicketNetwork or to join our technical team, please visit: www.ticketnetwork.com
