Introduction
I partner with other leaders to identify new business changing opportunities, add value, and solve meaningful problems.
I take a human-centered approach to helping engineers innovate, grow, and bring to life their creative ideas.
I focus on architecting software that creates usable, innovative and scalable solutions for all types of devices and use cases.
Key Strengths
User Experience (UI/UX)
I subscribe to the core principle that design and technology must work in tandem to create exceptional user experiences. I have extensive experience with traditional user-centered design best practices — from tackling the most complex interface challenges to creating simple, easy-to-use mobile solutions.
Team Leadership
I believe that success can be directly attributed to a team leader's ability to synchronize team members and help them move through predictable stages of development. Building trust, enabling collaboration, and most importantly getting stuff done are my core values regarding leadership.
