about me
Engineering leader who ships
I've spent my career helping teams build software they're proud of. From hands-on coding to leading distributed teams, my focus is on delivering real value while growing the engineers around me. I believe great products come from great teams — and great teams need leaders who care about both the code and the people writing it.
