About

Unblocking and speeding up teams through strategic optimization of systems and processes. Whether it's speeding up tests that take too long, sorting out root causes for release delays from conflicts, or setting up ways for everyone to deliver work independently with strong confidence even when the team is blocked on releases. Let's team up and speed up!

Strengths & Work Philosophy

  • Biased toward action: quick iteration cycles and small wins that compound
  • Deep focus on fast feedback loops and system observability
  • Comfortable owning CI/CD and system plumbing work others avoid
  • Thrive when collaborating with thoughtful PMs and clear goals
  • Struggle with premature planning, vague deliverables, or performative coordination
  • Seek ownership over implementation, not politics or layers of indirection
