With over a decade of experience in the realm of software development, I am a passionate leader who thrives on delivering impactful outcomes, while nurturing fun collaborative work environment.
Throughout my career, I have cultivated an understanding of a bond between software and product development. I consider the discovery and formulation of what to build and why as important as development itself. Successful software is adding value to users. Productive engineers and designers have intimate understanding of the problem they are solving.
As someone who has been passionate about code since middle school programming competitions, I strongly believe in practicing the craft, regardless of the rank. Leaders that can code will always be better equipped to make educated decisions and improve rapport with engineers with whom they speak the same language.
My leadership philosophy revolves around fostering collaboration, self-reliance, and team empowerment. I consider understanding customer needs at the center of business success, so building empathy to end users and aligning strategic vision with customer-centric solutions are essential.
