Expectations

Leadership roles: I enjoy mentoring groups of engineers and building things with the mantra of "High quality, elegant, simple software at speed.". I accomplish this by setting a vision and using SCRUM and Agile Methodologies. I have built platforms that delight developers and exceed business expectations. If you are looking for a proven technical leader, let's have a quick chat! - Roles may have titles such as: "Team Lead, Manager/ Senior Manager, Principle/Distinguished engineer or Director.". It depends on the company.

Engineering roles: When I am not leading a team, I enjoy getting down into the nitty gritty of bits and bytes. Whether it is the finer points of TCP/IP, GoLang, AWS, CICD, Terraform, Linux System Engineer, or anything tech. I love solving complex technical problems at scale. I prefer to work in AWS and Go for backend things and React for frontend. Let's chat if you have a complex engineering problem working with the following technologies!
