I lead

I have managed teams of incredibly talented software engineers at Instacart and Shopify.

As a team leader, I believe in empowering others and getting out of the way so the team can be successful.

I'm also good at balancing business needs with team capabilities and I am not afraid to speak out when pressures or constraints hurt the team roadmap.

I teach

For 4 years, I was a professional trainer and taught over a thousand people how to use the Scala platform.

The greatest thing about teaching is seeing someone's face light up when they internalize something they've learned. Guiding someone through that process is incredibly rewarding.

I build

My dad told me once I could build software to do work for us. I was 8. I still marvel at the value we can create with technology.

I enjoy building systems and products people love to use.

I also believe in the potential of technology to support positive change for individuals and communities.

Coaching

This is how I can help you.
