About
I'm a Software Engineering Leader with over 20 years of software development experience; over half of which have been in "hands-on" management positions with SaaS, PaaS, and Cloud based products.
I've held "hands-on" executive positions at small and mid-sized companies, built several successful engineering teams from scratch, and have led engineering teams at three companies through acquisitions. I've been responsible for hiring, mentoring, successfully retaining valued employees, and partner/vendor management in all of these positions.
As a result of my desire to "do the right thing for the company", I'm accustomed to wearing many hats and have often found myself simultaneously fulfilling two or more of the following roles:
• Developer
• Manager
• Recruiter
• DevOps
• Site Ops/Production Support
• Product Manager
• Release Engineer
• IT
• QA
I'm a bootstrapper at heart - I'm most passionate about building world-class v1.0 products and organizations based on sustainable best practices and helping course-correct and scale those that aren't. My core specialties are…
Engineering Leadership:
• Mentoring and motivating teams and individuals
• Recruiting, hiring, employee retention
• Process improvement
• Project management/agile methodologies
Software Craftsmanship:
• Product development
• Technology selection
• Tool and framework design
• Build, test, release automation
