What I'm looking for

Looking for a challenging role that leverages my expertise in building and scaling data platforms, while providing opportunities for growth and development.

As an experienced Engineering Manager, I've had the privilege of leading multiple teams through large-scale projects, modernizing infrastructure, and improving data governance and privacy. My passion lies in creating data-driven environments that support smarter decision-making, and I take great pride in coaching and developing talent to help people reach their potential.

Throughout my career, I've demonstrated my ability to build and scale data platforms, improve data accessibility, and drive business growth. I'm committed to fostering a culture of collaboration, innovation, and continuous learning, and I'm excited to bring my expertise to a new challenge.

With a strong background in cloud and data infrastructure, data governance and privacy, and leadership, I'm confident in my ability to drive success in any organization. I'm a strengths-based coach, dedicated to helping teams grow and thrive, and I'm passionate about empowering people to reach their full potential.
