## About

```text
At Phorest Salon Software, I manage an eight-person full-stack team responsible for Ecommerce. I partnered with Product and Design to introduce value-based prioritization and structured project discovery, tripling observed team output within six months while moving developer health-monitor scores to green across all measured areas.

I also replanned quarterly work around urgent, legally required compliance updates so no customer deadlines were missed. For PCI compliance, I used agentic AI for cross-repository technical discovery and translated the findings into implementation, testing, and communications plans.

At Rev.com, I led a five-person product team and partnered with Product and Design to ship customer-facing features. Earlier, as Chief of Staff to the EVP of Product & Engineering, I created engineering-wide leveling and performance guidelines and built an internship program selected from more than 100 applicants.

At Rockwell Automation, I helped take a predictive-analytics product from inception to market and was named an inventor on a patent for embedding machine learning into industrial controllers. I also advise engineering leaders through SLM Strategies, focusing on team structure, organizational design, and collaboration.
