A bit about me …

How I show up

A thoughtful, resilient, advocate

Leadership means creating space for others to succeed and ensuring everyone’s voice is heard. It requires stepping back to lift up others’ ideas and stepping up when they’re being taken advantage of or treated unfairly. It requires patience and emotional intelligence to understand not only the thoughts and motivations behind what people say, but also how to appropriately communicate our shared struggles and goals for better collaboration. You must meet people where they are to help them get to where they want to be.

I’m willing to have difficult conversations when they serve the greater good, especially when it comes to protecting team members or addressing systemic issues. I put in the work to build trust through consistency, follow-through, and the courage to admit my mistakes.

What I provide

Bridge-Building Communication: I translate complex technical concepts for stakeholders while making sure developer voices are heard in business decisions. My background spanning design, development, and marketing helps me facilitate conversations that move projects forward.

Resilient System Design: I build architectures that adapt to changing requirements and team structures. My focus is on creating robust foundations that can weather both technical and organizational challenges.

Strategic Technical Leadership: I design systems that scale in both technical execution and team adoption. My architectural decisions consider learning curves, team dynamics, and long-term maintainability. I empower the team to think about how we can innovate on our processes and move beyond what we have always done.

Advocacy-Driven Problem Solving: I use my technical expertise to push back on unrealistic timelines and advocate for solutions that provide long-term value. This protects team wellbeing while managing client expectations effectively.

Emotional Intelligence in Tech: I read team dynamics, identify when someone needs support, and create environments where difficult technical conversations can happen constructively. Software is about people and tech, both need thoughtful attention.

Where I’m going

I’m currently deepening my expertise in distributed systems architecture while exploring how AI tools can augment thoughtful engineering practices. I’m particularly interested in how technical leaders can create more inclusive and sustainable engineering cultures.
