Skills
Summary
I am a senior leader in software development, machine learning, and product management. I enjoy creating and improving large-scale consumer products. I have experience building engaged, cross-functional, diverse, and international organizations. I thrive on bringing different backgrounds, skills, and opinions together in my senior leadership team. I focus on setting strategic long term context, sweat the details, and finish things. I have experience leading teams across all of the following functions: software engineering, data science, deep learning, machine learning, natural language processing, product management, user experience & design, localization, program management, analytics, economics, and site reliability engineering. Methods I am particularly fond of: old fashioned checklists, technical architecture reviews, design thinking to drive user centric innovation, and agile engineering methods like Scrum and Kanban to build software fast and well tested. Working together and coaching smart and motivated people to change the world is why I enjoy coming to work every day. My goal is to make a difference in people's life by developing great products that are used everywhere every day.
