What I'm looking for

I am looking for a leadership role in a dynamic company that values innovation and collaboration, where I can drive impactful projects and mentor engineering talent.

I am an engineering leader with over 14 years of experience in delivering scalable mobile and web applications. My expertise lies in leading cross-functional teams, mentoring engineers, and implementing innovative solutions in Agile environments. At Walmart Global Tech, I successfully managed a team of 14 developers, enhancing sprint execution and refining engineering processes. I take pride in launching impactful features such as Spend Limits, which reduced unauthorized spending by 25% within six months, and optimizing data exports, cutting processing time by 40%.

Throughout my career, I have consistently driven organization-wide impact by building competency matrices and introducing policies that leverage AI technologies. My role as an Engineering Manager at 7shifts allowed me to improve team engagement and deliver a new messaging stack that significantly enhanced message delivery speed. I have a strong track record of mentoring mid-level developers, helping them advance to senior roles through structured development plans and hands-on guidance.

My journey has equipped me with a deep understanding of system architecture and design, enabling me to lead high-impact projects that ensure scalability and reliability. I am passionate about fostering a culture of growth and collaboration within engineering teams, and I am committed to delivering user-centric solutions that drive business success.
