I'm an Engineering Manager and Staff Engineer with 8+ years building software, splitting my time evenly between operational leadership and staying hands-on in the codebase. On the people side that means recruiting, performance management, and team management; on the technical side it means architecture decisions, code reviews, and jumping into production incidents on live enterprise platforms serving hundreds of thousands of users. Lately I build with Node.js, TypeScript, React, and PostgreSQL, and I've been leading the rollout of AI-assisted development workflows across engineering teams. I identify as a builder, constantly experimenting with new technologies. I enjoy sharing my work with the world and often write on Medium. In my free time, I like to watch a good movie or TV show.
