Current Stack

Backstory and Lore

I'm a software engineering manager with 10+ years of experience shipping quality products with high-velocity teams. I currently lead Product & Engineering for an internal forecasting platform at a midstream oil and gas company, managing a team of up to 11 full-stack engineers and designers.

I began my career as a Front-end Engineer, but naturally grew into full-stack and infrastructure roles over the years. I own our DevOps pipeline, maintain Kubernetes deployments, and manage observability and CI in addition to application code. I pride myself on being an excellent partner for Product and Design teams to design robust solutions for complex requirements.

I enjoy breaking down complicated business logic into manageable slices that can be shipped independently, delivering value to users as quickly as possible. Mentoring younger developers is also important to me and has been a large part of my responsibilities for several years.
