About Me

I'm a Senior Engineering Manager based in the San Francisco Bay Area, with over two decades of experience in software engineering and technical leadership.

My career has spanned from hands-on mobile development to leading cross-functional engineering teams. I'm passionate about building products that make a real difference in people's lives, and I believe that great software comes from empowered, well-supported teams.

I specialize in mobile engineering, team scaling, and engineering process optimization. I've consistently delivered improvements in sprint predictability, bug reduction, and team velocity across every organization I've worked with.
