I am a product and people focussed engineering leader with a background in full stack development. I want to help your talent thrive, your company prosper and your products meet their potential through smart application of technology.

I gain great satisfaction from the challenges and rewards of managing engineers and technical projects. I am a considerate manager, capable of motivating individuals, seeking out opportunities to help them to grow and removing obstacles so they can excel. I understand the importance of nurturing talent and fostering a strong culture in which individuals are empowered to take ownership of their work and trusted to make good decisions. I am experienced in hiring, and believe that personality and potential are just as important as technical know-how.

I enjoy using modern technologies to create value-adding products with engaging user experiences. I have a strong interest in the complete product development cycle and enjoy working closely with product and design teams to ensure we are delivering solutions that users love. I am good at managing timelines and adept at building relationships across all business functions to ensure we are working on the right priorities at the right time. I am able to articulate a complex vision to engineers and CEOs alike.

As an engineer, I'm skilled in Python (and Django) and Javascript (with React and Redux) and have experience developing high-performance distributed systems with scalable architecture.
