Software engineering leader with 20+ years of experience building teams and software for companies ranging from small, independent firms to large tech. I have modernized software development life cycle (SDLC) practices for organizations, delivered greenfield products to millions of users, and contributed to a company acquisition by Microsoft. My career has spanned from deep in the operating system to application development and cloud-based systems. My most rewarding experiences have been working as a manager, technical leader, or mentor to help others grow through training and partnerships.My experience and knowledge give me a sound understanding of how software design, software implementation, organizational communication, and software validation practices intersect in the SDLC to accelerate or hold back an organization. I pride myself on my ability to help software development organizations become better at solving their users’ problems through the production of high-quality software that at lower costs.
