What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that fosters collaboration, innovation, and growth opportunities.

With 20 years of experience as a software engineer, I have a proven track record in designing and delivering scalable systems across various cloud platforms. My expertise lies in leading technical direction, modernizing legacy codebases, and driving complex migrations. I pride myself on being a trusted collaborator, working seamlessly with engineering, product, and design teams while mentoring peers and shaping platform architectures.

Currently, I serve as a Senior Software Engineer at Vacasa, where I have modernized payment and finance pipelines, integrating new payment gateways using Python. My previous roles as an Engineering Manager at PagerDuty and HomeLight allowed me to lead significant migrations and manage remote teams effectively, scaling them through mentorship and code reviews. I have consistently focused on improving performance and scalability, ensuring that the platforms I work on meet the highest standards.

Throughout my career, I have developed a strong foundation in various programming languages and frameworks, including Ruby, Go, Elixir, and React. My commitment to driving agile delivery and fostering a collaborative work environment has been instrumental in my success and the success of my teams.
