About

I enjoy solving delivery problems. Over the last 14+ years, I've helped engineering teams ship software more predictably — improving processes, aligning cross-functional teams, and bringing structure to complex, fast-moving SaaS projects. I've worked closely with Product, Engineering, Design, QA, Customer Success, and business stakeholders, managing projects from planning through release. Some of the work I'm most proud of: Built a bug management process that cut open defects by 73% Implemented AI and POD workflows that lifted team productivity by 23% Restructured sprint planning across multiple releases, improving overall productivity by 57% Most recently, I led delivery for a device-first fraud intelligence platform, working across Product, Engineering, Design, and Customer Success/Presales teams to ship complex features on time and within scope. My approach is simple: communicate openly, ask the right questions, spot risks early, and clear the obstacles so the team can focus on building. I'm currently exploring roles in Engineering Project/Program Management, Technical Program Management, Technical Project Management, and Delivery Management, particularly at companies building SaaS, AI, cloud, or cybersecurity products.
