A former software engineer turned manager with 12+ years of experience — from writing Angular applications at BNY Mellon to leading 7 teams and 50+ engineers at the largest online university in the country.
"I pride myself in being creative and adaptive to finding new ways to solve complex problems."
I've worked closely with product managers, project managers, and senior leadership to understand intricate systems and problem solve for the future. My career has spanned everything from building enterprise web applications to standing up entirely new teams from scratch.
