Summary
I'm a Senior Software Engineering Manager with 15+ years in software development and 7+ years in engineering leadership. Proven track record of building high performance teams, delivering complex technical initiatives, and aligning engineering execution with strategic business goals. I had led multi-team efforts across departments and driven innovation while mentoring talent from junior engineers to future leaders. I am known for fostering a culture of experimentation, accountability, and excellence.
I recently led a cross-brand tracking initiative involving four distinct websites each with unique tech stacks, teams, deployment models, and objectives. I partnered with teams from the front end, data engineering, infrastructure, and executive leadership to deliver a unified solution from data capture to data ingestion.
