Skills
Summary
I lead teams to deliver multiple products and services with a deep guiding principle of providing practical software solutions while optimizing frequency and quality of releases. I build productive teams through right hiring, listening, motivating, mentoring, coaching and instilling a strong sense of ownership and commitment. I have proven success leading cross-functional teams in defining, building, deploying and supporting vital software, interfaces, and infrastructure through the entire product lifecycle. Expert in identifying root cause of issues and translating complex data and processes into clear, understandable and actionable steps. I communicate confidently and comfortably with all lines of business and levels of management and excel at building relationships of trust with customers and among departments. In my spare time, I love to travel and experience different cultures through languages, history, sights, and food. I am an avid boardgame hobbyist.
