Specialties
Technical Leadership
When presented a set of constraints, known or unknown, I use data driven methodologies to identify present and future challenges; while affecting change across organizations at a micro-technical level using my broad experience in working through complex problems to find creative solutions. I intentionally impart these skills to teams around me to reduce organizational toil
Self-Service Developer Enablement
I have spent the last decade working on various aspects of the developer experience. Making it easy for engineers to ship code is something I find fun. I believe that supported engineers ship safer code faster improving collaboration and overall satisfaction. Systems that don’t frustrate engineers at the micro level, in my experience, correlate with project success at the macro level
Architecture
My solution engineering and enterprise architecture approach is people architecture; Conway’s law is used as a tool instead of a limitation. Handoffs are clear and precise, respecting the people during the process
