My leadership journey continues! What an honor it is to rejoin Launch Consulting in this role. More to come once I get my bearings!

Store 8 is a startup incubator and skunkworks team, financed by the world's largest private employer and Fortune 1 company, Walmart. We iterate quickly, and explore emerging tech with a "fail fast" mindset. Much of the work we do is guided by the Scientific Method, but rather than throwing things at the wall to see what sticks, we use data-driven.

I provide E2E leadership coaching, technical project management (TPM) support, hiring/team-building/staff-aug, architectural guidance and solutions for Native Mobile applications, and engineering management for some of Launch's most well-known clients. Assisted in Architectural Decision Records (ADRs) for massive brands that you know and love, helping them.
