I'm an engineer by education and at heart- I write software and design hardware for fun. I love technical challenges, and will rise to them wherever they can be found. But I also have a deep passion for people. I love building products and services that delight them, that make their lives easier, and allow them to save time in places they never would've realized it was being lost. Great products don't get built overnight- I love working with and leading teams to make them happen. Whether it's customer research, project planning, or rolling up my sleeves at the 11th hour to help get the feature coded on time, I'm there. My ideal job would allow me to satisfy a restless appetite for technical challenges while providing ample opportunities to interact with and advocate for my customers, team, project and partners. I love the challenges presented at all phases of the product design lifecycle- from concept to implementation to release, and beyond- and have a strong track record delivering in all of these areas. I'm a highly technical Product Manager, a customer-obsessed Software Engineer, a passionate Engineering Leader, and most things in between.
