I have 16 years of industry experience, from companies with less than 10 people to over 100K.

My strengths are:

  • innovation and creativity, technical design/architecture, finding alternative solutions
  • perfecting existing solutions and streamlining
  • customer focused solutions
  • self-service tools, automation, provisioning
  • ownership
  • bias for action

I love the fusion of amazing technology, beautiful design, and great user experience. My role model in technology is Steve Jobs. I know he's not everyone's piece of cake but I'd rather be bold and passionate than play it safe.

I like companies that deliver premium products/services and they care about customers, employees, and the world. Technology wise I like the idea of buying as much as you can from vendors and building only what makes the business stand out from the competition.

Outside of the world of engineering I like photography, meditation, natural movement, and being in nature.
