What I'm looking for

I’m looking to resume my engineering career in a role that values strong technical leadership, scalable web delivery, and practical health-compatible work patterns—so I can keep contributing while managing my MCAS.

I’m a Software Engineering Manager who has spent years building and leading software teams—partnering with startups, delivering production web platforms, and guiding engineering execution from strategy through implementation.

At 3M, I led engineering for the Fluency Virtual Embedded Assistant team, strengthening the technical implementation, maintenance, lifecycle, and support of six products across teams on three continents, and coordinating nearly a dozen teams to deliver a unified web API for partner access to voice-to-intent automation services.

My health challenges ended my earlier momentum in software and music, but I’m now managing my symptoms after discovering I have MCAS, and I’m resuming my career with a clear goal: find a way to give back that’s compatible with my health needs.
