The Journey

I build software and lead teams in fast-paced startup environments. With 9+ years from intern to Engineering Manager, I've worn many hats—always willing to get stuck in wherever needed.

I still remember the giddy feeling of pushing my first production feature live. That excitement hasn't faded. Whether it's architecting systems handling millions of requests, leading cross-functional teams, or reducing technical debt, I adapt to what the team needs.

I'm not afraid to ask questions or admit when I don't know something, I see it as a strength. Humility and curiosity are key parts of both learning quickly and leading well.
