Software Leadership
I have a wide breadth of experience across the Software Development Life Cycle (SDLC). This has allowed me to lead diverse teams at companies like CoBank and Spectrum. I’ve guided them through challenges in software development, testing, architecture, and cloud management. I thrive on orchestrating strategic initiatives that not only streamline processes but also elevate customer experiences.
15 years of experience in software engineering and architecture, and more than 8 years specializing in DevOps, platform and software engineering across multi-cloud environments, I am eager to bring my expertise in building scalable, reliable, and high-performance platforms.
