Building Teams,
Scaling Impact
I'm a Head of Engineering with a decade-plus journey from writing code to building high-performing teams. My focus has shifted from shipping features to creating the conditions where great work happens.
Experience
What Drives Me
Empathy-First Leadership
Great engineering isn't just about technical excellence—it's about understanding people. I build cultures where engineers feel heard, challenged, and supported to do their best work.
Continuous Learning
Technology evolves, and so should we. I'm committed to staying curious, questioning assumptions, and creating environments where learning is built into the work itself.
High-Leverage Impact
I focus on work that multiplies: building systems that scale, making decisions that unlock teams, and investing time where it creates the most meaningful change.
Strategic Execution
Vision without execution is just planning. I bridge product, engineering, and business goals by turning strategy into reality through clear roadmaps and cross-functional collaboration.
My Focus Areas
Over the past decade, I've moved from individual contributor to leading engineering organizations. Here's where I create the most impact today:
🧭 Engineering Leadership
Leading engineering teams through growth, change, and complexity. I help teams build the right things the right way, balancing technical excellence with business impact. From setting technical vision to nurturing career growth, I create environments where engineers thrive.
🏗️ Organizational Design
Building team structures that enable autonomy, ownership, and speed. I think deeply about how teams are organized, how work flows between them, and how to design systems that reduce friction and increase delivery. Conway's Law is real—let's make it work for us.
📈 Team Scaling
Growing teams from 5 to 50+ without losing culture, quality, or velocity. I've navigated the challenges of hiring at scale, onboarding effectively, and maintaining excellence as complexity grows. Scaling isn't just about headcount—it's about processes, culture, and communication.
🌱 Mentoring & Development
Investing in people is the highest-leverage work I do. I mentor engineers transitioning into leadership, help senior ICs level up their impact, and build frameworks that support continuous growth. Great teams are built on great people—and great people need support to grow.
🎯 Cross-Functional Strategy
Aligning engineering, product, design, and business stakeholders around shared goals. I translate between technical and business contexts, build roadmaps that reflect real priorities, and ensure engineering has a seat at the strategic table—not just execution.
How I Think About Leadership
Some of the mental models and frameworks that guide how I approach building teams, scaling organizations, and creating lasting impact.
Leverage Over Hours
The best engineering leaders multiply impact rather than just working harder. This means investing time in systems, processes, and people development—the things that create compounding returns. A great hire, a well-designed process, or a cultural norm can create value long after the initial investment.
Organizational Design as Strategy
Conway's Law isn't just a fun observation—it's a design tool. How you structure teams directly impacts what they can build. I think deeply about team boundaries, communication patterns, and ownership models because getting the structure right unlocks autonomy, speed, and quality at scale.
Culture Eats Strategy for Breakfast
You can have the best roadmap and the smartest engineers, but without psychological safety, trust, and shared values, execution suffers. Culture isn't ping pong tables— it's how decisions get made, how feedback flows, and whether people feel empowered to take risks and learn from failure.
People First, Always
Great products are built by great teams. Great teams are built by investing in people— their growth, their autonomy, their sense of purpose. Mentoring, career development, and creating paths for people to do their best work isn't just “nice to have”— it's the foundation of sustainable excellence.
