Architect, Entrepreneur, Innovator, Leader, Manager, and Software Engineer

Seeking

Seeking opportunities as a director, manager, or individual contributor.

Overview

Customer-focused with a balance of leadership skills, hands-on technical work, and a bias for action.

Background includes management, leadership, bringing products to market that impact the bottom line, enterprise architecture, and cloud-scale software and infrastructure development.

I align with organizational goals. Independently lead teams to accomplish work. Take team and project management off my managers plate so they can focus on higher-level leadership work.
