About

Engineering Manager with 10+ years of experience, who helps teams ship great software and grow as engineers. I care about clear priorities, sound technical decisions, and a culture where people do their best work. I'm at my best when turning ambiguous problems into reliable, scalable products. Clear priorities, sound engineering - I help teams align on the "why" behind their work, then build it the right way: thoughtful architecture, strong code reviews, solid testing, and good observability. That clarity lets engineers make confident decisions on their own, and ships fast without trading away reliability or long-term maintainability. People over process - I invest in regular 1:1s, honest feedback, and clear growth paths. My goal is for every engineer to do their best work and grow into their next role, whether that's senior IC, tech lead, or manager. Healthy delivery - I work closely with product, design, and business stakeholders to set realistic roadmaps, manage trade-offs, and ship consistently without burning people out. Learning culture - I encourage blameless postmortems, knowledge sharing, and experimentation, including using AI tools to make teams faster and more effective. I've worked across the full lifecycle of products, from early ideas to production at scale, and I'm always curious about new technologies, better ways of working, and the people behind great products.
