Ever since I can remember, technology has been the center of conversation at the dinner table. I grew up with first-hand exposure to Silicon Valley pioneers and became a software engineer who helps companies ship high-performance, high-quality software. I focus on the big picture, the end user and pushing past boundaries to provide new and better ways of getting a job done.Colleagues have described me as scrappy. I’m an entrepreneur and an engineer who seeks to create an impact on architecture, libraries, and how we test. My passion is to drive vision and mission, to inform and engage. I know what works and what doesn’t in terms of product/market fit.Some career highlights include:• Co-founded a biotech startup that was partnered with a large National Laboratory for advancing software for the biomanufacturing of all chemicals.• Became a winner at iGem and built a working prototype for a complex scientific SaaS product.• Created Slidermetrix, used to collect real-time feedback for the 2014 Super Bowl ad ratings report.• Was a core developer on Comcast’s Xfinity mobile, which millions of customers have used.• Launched Hen Outdoors, an online community and business for avid outdoorswomen, growing the community of users from zero to 50K people. While I’m proud of my work, I am constantly seeking the next challenge and collaboration. I know results come by showing up and putting in the work to make a product 1% better day after day. Having mentored many junior engineers over the years, my leadership style is extreme ownership and honesty. This is required to build a winning team and a profitable product.Want to chat?
