I am an experienced technical leader with a passion for fostering a working environment grounded in diversity, empathy, accountability, and sustainable work/life balance. Improving processes, governing development standards & best practices, and removing obstacles to enable engineers to do what they do best— delivering secure, high-quality code and architecture— is what lights me up day after day.
I believe in developing humane technology and using it as a force for good.
