I'm a self-taught engineer and technical lead who loves building and guiding teams. I especially enjoy leading cross-functional collaborations with multidisciplinary partners, technical design, and mentoring. I have a strong background in web accessibility and special interest in user experience as well as inclusive design and coding.I strongly believe diversity, inclusion, collaboration, psychological safety, and mutual trust are necessary elements for a positive, healthy, productive work environment and successful, cohesive teams. My leadership philosophy also embraces shared responsibility, collective ownership, and transparency while also empowering individuals and recognizing their unique value and contributions.Technically speaking, I tend to favor clean, tested (unit and end-to-end), peer-reviewed, maintainable and readable code that follows best practices.
