## Work Experience
### Software Engineer @ THINKalpha
Jan 2024 – Present | New York, NY
I have led technical strategy and defined architecture across multiple teams and systems. I have driven cross-functional execution, aligned engineering work with business priorities, and guided major technical decisions from design through delivery. I have helped scale engineering organizations, hired and mentored individual contributors, and improved how teams operate to increase quality, speed, and reliability.

I have also partnered closely with product, operations, and executive stakeholders to set direction, manage tradeoffs, and deliver outcomes at company scale. I onboarded non-technical roles ensuring broad understanding of the organization and systems enables them for success. I worked directly with key customers and partners to ensure positive financial outcomes take priority in all engineering decisions.
