I am a seasoned engineering leader who enjoys driving informed technology strategy, leading high-performing teams, and building great SaaS products.My technology strategy involves both having solutions for today, as well as a defined roadmap for the future, because not everything can be done exactly when you want to. These roadmaps continually evolve, reacting to new business needs, as well as considering new technologies that may better address challenges. In addition, I take an active approach to the management of technical debt so that we don't have to rewrite systems every few years. This materializes in the form of technical, or as I like to call them "Sustainability", backlogs, that must be actively managed. I then partner with peers in Product to commit upwards of 15-20% of ongoing development to this effort. This helps insure we have sustainable, future-proof systems, that leverage modern technologies, have minimal defects, are kept up to date, and can be effectively operated.For my teams, I recruit, hire, coach, and mentor talent to achieve their best, and then look to help them reproduce their best in others. A crucial team development component I've long used is weekly 1:1's, where I help hone career paths, level up skills, and keep engagement high. I strive to foster great team cultures that have the following attributes: are agile, passionate, customer-focused, blameless, biased toward action, self-organizing, empowered to make their own decisions, have easy paths to production, DevOps-minded, technical excellence, value continual education, staying on the edge of modern technologies, adhering to industry best practices like TDD, DDD, and Continuous Deployment, among many others. I will do everything in my power to ensure my teams have everything they need to succeed. Then I trust them to do the job they were hired for.Key Achievements:- moved organization off on-prem to cloud hosting decreasing costs by 66%- increased release cadence from 1x/bi-weekly to dozens/day- reduced release to production from code check-in time to average 5min- rewrote monolithic product to distributed, event driven, microservice platform- implemented end-to-end structured logging resulting in the ability to trace requests through the entire service network with Mezmo- decreased MTTR using New Relic monitoring, Pagerduty alerting, and CI/CD rollback capabilities- transitioned company from command-and-control to Agile delivery using Scrum
