I’m passionate about technology and the cloud, and I’ve built a career as a software engineer and a business-minded leader. I thrive in lean, agile environments, quickly learning new domains and guiding mixed teams of sales, design and engineering to deliver products and projects that drive growth and client satisfaction. Throughout the application lifecycle I engage with stakeholders, articulate the technology and business value, build demos and PoCs, negotiate deals, and ensure on-time, on-budget delivery. I enjoy turning complex architectures into practical solutions and mentoring teams to operate at a high level of quality.
