I'm an engineering leader, problem-solver, and entrepreneur. I believe in context and direction over command-and-control, small teams with outsized impact, and a bias for action—ship, learn, adjust.
I hold a Ph.D and a MS in Computer Science. Love scuba diving and audiobooks. You can learn more about working with me here.
My Engineering Leadership Principles
- Context and direction, not command-and-control - I set direction, create clarity, and remove roadblocks. I'm explicit about strategy and technical bets, and I rely on ICs and managers to own execution.
- Small teams, big impact - I favor lean teams with high talent density because they move faster, communicate better, and deliver meaningful outcomes without coordination drag.
- Bias for action - I favor shipping over debating; we start, learn, and adjust instead of waiting for perfect plans.
- Ownership and judgment - I give autonomy in exchange for sound decisions; I expect leaders to own outcomes, make tradeoffs explicit, and raise risks early.
