With over 17 years of experience in software engineering, my career has been a journey through various roles and technologies. Starting as a freelance consultant, I had the unique opportunity to lead projects through their entire lifecycle— from clinching contracts to designing, building, and rolling them out. This exposure honed my technical skills and strengthened my project management and leadership abilities.A little over four years ago, I transitioned from building software to leading folks who build software. I love building software, and I strive to give that same thing to my teams. My leadership philosophy centers on nurturing healthy team environments where developers feel valued and motivated. I focus on ensuring that each team member grows individually and contributes to delivering high-quality products that drive tangible business results.Beyond technical and team leadership, I am passionate about mentoring. I guide engineers through their careers to help them level up. Whether it's increasing their breadth and depth or making the hop to management, I love helping them navigate the complex landscape of tech careers—a journey I find both challenging and fulfilling.I'm always happy to connect with fellow tech folks looking to make a meaningful impact or seeking guidance on their career path.
