I believe together people and technology have the ability to complement each other to accomplish things that neither can do alone. It is this belief on which I center my career, finding new and innovative ways to join the two. Empowering technology to make a difference in the life of users. Enabling people to wield that technology. As a leader and technologist I have 20 years combined experience in development and management. I have implemented practical applications of technology and developed processes that maximize value. I have extensive experience in leading multiple Agile teams, planning development strategies, and managing competing interests in processes, people, and technology. I have a dedication to developing leaders and identifying emerging technologies which add value and increase efficiency. Along the way I have learned much about development and organizations. My experiences, personal and professional, have taught me the following things about myself:People are the secret of development success- I have had the most success explaining goals and needs rather than being prescriptive.- Teams excel when providing a roadmap so there is alignment on the where and why.- Be as specific as you need to be, and no more.I can organize development groups to adapt to new technology - I appreciate the value of experimentation in development.- My intuition is good, but I prefer to have data.- Feedback from team members is essential to make good decisions.Automation is critical for effective development- Automated quality controls allow for quick delivery.- Extensive unit tests help with quality, onboarding of new developers, and with collaboration.- Metering and alerts are the key to a great understanding of live systems.
