I’m a seasoned Software Engineering Manager and l Technical Project Manager with over 14 years of experience building, managing, and scaling cloud-native, data-intensive systems for high-uptime, remote-first environments. I bring a strong track record of leading distributed engineering teams, mentoring developers, managing vendors, and delivering reliable systems under pressure. My background spans cybersecurity, DevOps, QA automation, and data platform engineering, with a focus on empowering engineers and optimizing team performance. A few wins I’m proud of: * Led a team that boosted released code by 24% in 9 months and reduced off-hours pages by 73% through mentoring and architectural improvements. * Managed 22 engineers globally at Vertica, resulting in a 127% increase in bugs found and features tested through effective planning and hiring. * Negotiated and managed vendors to cut third-party failures by 33%, bringing greater fiscal visibility to leadership. * As Incident Commander at Expel, formalized root cause analysis practices and improved response times during outages. * Built and led remote product delivery teams that increased customer retention and consistently hit delivery timelines. I'm passionate about creating inclusive, high-performing teams where engineers feel supported and empowered to do their best work, especially in remote environments.
