I love understanding customers and helping them solve their problems.

As a software engineering manager for a product driven team, I use my empathetic communication and engineering skills to design solutions for our customers. I lean on my previous experience as a speech scientist to guide my projects.

Feel free to reach out to me to chat about software design and streamlining team operations!
