📔 Resume
My career is dedicated to building the tools and technologies that help
teams succeed inside companies. The behind the scenes work that improves
productivity and efficiency for dozens of hundreds of others is what inspires
me to do my best work. Building systems out of nothing that bring order to
chaos is my past time.
As a leader, I refill my cup by mentoring and growing the team around me; I
win when they win. I bring thoughtful order to teams, and I let the subject
matter experts inform strategy and implementation instead of dictating my
vision. Inclusive collaboration makes for a more engaged and high
performing team and it is my goal that everyone on the team from staff
architects to fresh college graduates and even interns feels they have
something to contribute to the conversation.
