@bradleystillwagon
Customer-focused Engineering Manager with a strong background in quality and process in startups.
United StatesWhat I'm looking for
I am a results-driven software engineering professional with over eight years of startup experience. I excel at tackling complex problems and distilling ambiguous problems into simple solutions. As an engineering manager at Series Financial, I find joy in the challenge of building a modular, automated financial back office suite. I am most fulfilled when empowering my team to tackle the next challenge.
My management philosophy focuses on establishing clear direction and expectations with my direct reports, enabling them to have the freedom and flexibility to innovate, even if it doesn't always work. I believe that feedback is a gift and that direct feedback establishes trust and clear communication patterns between all members of the team. I strive to iterate as quickly as possible, with a streamlined feedback loop in our CI/CD process. I believe that failure is not something to be scared of, as it only guides improvement.
