Staff Software Engineer
I am a customer-obsessed engineer who focuses on product first. I have led teams on internal tools and built flagship products for startups.
I care about building applications that make people's lives easier and developers' experiences great.
I have shipped software for nearly two decades and collaborated on remote teams for fifteen years.

On a medium-sized tech team, I worked closely with internal teams to maintain tools related to Vehicles, Incentives, Fees & Taxes, and more. I led small teams of engineers in developing custom apps, pipelines, and whatever was needed to make people's jobs easier. I simplified many internal tool stacks and deployments.
