I direct Infrastructure Engineering organizations that drive forward internet-enabled core product. I ensure that internet-enabled products are fast, reliable, scalable, and agile by assembling, grooming, and scaling Software Engineering, Operations, and Internal Technology functions. I earn/maintain the respect of my teams by working alongside them (rather than shouting orders), mentoring contributors and leaders, and generally feeling their pain. I've been doing this for 18 years, and love it. I am US/EU work eligible.
