Engineering Manager · Bellevue, WA
14+ years in software development. Deeply technical, engineer-at-heart leader with a proven record of improving delivery, reliability, and team health. Known for stepping into ambiguity, organizing execution, and building cultures of trust and accountability.
I build things that work and teams that ship. My career spans enterprise frontend systems at companies like Pinterest and Oracle, embedded hardware projects with ESP microcontrollers, and AI-powered automation tooling. Currently providing fractional IT leadership through Grey Matter Dynamics while actively researching applied AI workflows and agent orchestration.
Whether it's driving a revenue-critical engineering org, writing firmware for a custom PCB, or designing token-efficient AI workflows — I approach every problem with the same mindset: understand it deeply, build it reliably, and make it expandable.
