Software engineering leader with 25+ years of experience. I enjoy pairing my skills and toolbox to the challenge my team is facing. I've worked in companies of all sizes, ranging from startups where I built engineering teams from scratch, all the way to Amazon working on large distributed systems at scale. Over the years I've lead high-performing teams on backend and frontend charters. I’ve owned mission-critical infrastructure with strict reliability and performance requirements—from large-scale data pipelines processing billions of documents to tier-0 authentication services handling thousands of TPS. I’ve also owned core user experiences and had the pleasure of working with skilled designers and frontend engineers to delight users with new functionality and iterative improvements.
