Engineering Leadership That Scales
Beyond writing code, I care deeply about building strong engineering teams. I firmly believe that the only way to achieve code quality is helping others learn, and that’s why I’ve led mentoring efforts, partnered closely with managers, and previously owned my company’s engineering coaching program; creating and delivering soft-skill training that helped engineers at all levels become better collaborators, leaders, and coaches themselves.
By partnering with product, we can make sure the teams are working in the right things, evaluating estimates and risks, and challenging to trim the fat to get to market fast.
