I lead a talented team of engineers, project managers, and support analysts in building internal software solutions, data pipelines, and consumer facing applications. I also maintain our registry of custom docker containers, specially configured for deployment into our Azure tenant.
As a working manager, no two days look the same. I‘m as comfortable in front of the command line and IDE as I am in meetings with executives or clients. I‘m confident in my decisions and I make sure that I‘ve done my research. I keep strong relationships with other department leadership and encourage others to be the best version of themselves. I‘m a strong believer in doing the right thing the first time, every time. I don‘t expect perfection, but I do expect excellence, and part of that is owning up to my own shortcomings and failures, and then learning from them.
