Software Engineering Manager

## About

Leading a team at Google, my role as Software Engineering Manager encompasses driving cloud security solutions\. My approach integrates hands\-on development with strategic leadership, ensuring that our products not only meet but exceed industry standards\. With a proven track record at Google\., I've successfully managed cross\-functional teams, fostering an environment that values collaboration and innovation\. My expertise in Java microservices, Kubernetes, and RESTful APIs using Spring Boot, coupled with my certification as an AWS Solutions Architect and AI For leaders empowers the team to deliver cutting\-edge services effectively and efficiently\. I wasn't always a great manager or leader — not because I set out to be a bad one, but because I simply didn't know what good management looked like\. Over 26 years of experience, including nearly 15 in management, I learned that the hard way — through mistakes, and through great leaders I was fortunate to learn from along the way\. Today, I try to pass on what I've learned to others working toward becoming better managers and leaders\. It's a two\-way street — I learn as much from them as they do from me\. If that resonates, reach out for a 1:1 conversation\. Let's see how we can work together\.
