About

12 years fully remote across product companies - comfortable owning surfaces on a self-directed basis.

What I'm looking for

Engineering at scale, solving complex problems, and collaborating with intellectually stimulating peers are the environments where I thrive. I’m comfortable working across time zones and take full ownership and accountability for delivering projects end-to-end, from inception to production deployment. I work effectively both independently in self-directed roles and collaboratively within cross-functional teams.
