Hands on technology leader and problem solver with strong background in software architecture, team leadership, cross functional collaboration and communication across all levels of business.I have a proven track record of designing solutions to complex, real-world problems and leading engineering teams to implement those solutions quickly and efficiently. My extensive technical experience, solid understanding of business practices and my ability to gain a deep understanding of customer requirements has enabled me to lead successful projects across a broad range of industries that consistently exceed expectations.The enthusiasm that I have for software engineering extends beyond just architecting and building systems; I am also passionate about developing others to learn and grow to their full potential. Combined with my broad experience and educational background this has allowed me to build engineering teams with amazing culture that are as fun to be a part of as they are productive! I have successfully led both domestic and offshore teams in on-site, remote and hybrid environments, always making sure that the positive, energetic culture extends to every team member. To my credit, in nearly 20 years of leading software engineers I have never had an employee leave one of my teams because they were unhappy.Throughout my career, I have developed the ability to communicate effectively with engineers, customers, peers and upper management. I am comfortable discussing complex technical topics with customers and C-level executives as well as ensuring that the company’s vision and initiatives are well understood by engineers so that the big picture becomes part of the products that we build. I feel that cross-team collaboration is key to the success of any large project, and I have always made it a point to ensure that my team’s efforts are aligned with the overall vision and with the efforts of other teams across the organization.
