About me

I'm most passionate about helping web engineering teams deliver their best work to enable business innovation on the web.

I thrive at the intersection of engineering management, web architecture, engineering and operations. While I have a deep love for building stuff, I understand that technical innovation is not just about technology, but about leveraging these tools to meet business objectives.

My approach is people-first, believing that with the right team, no challenge is impossible.I believe in fostering growth by encouraging the exploration of new technologies in low-risk projects, team contributions to open source initiatives, and the strengthening of computer science principles.
