From strategy through development, we'll use proven
conventions and novel methods to crush measurable milestones,
while keeping things as simple as possible.
'Easy' is curse word. We'll find and confront the truths that matter, even (especially) if they're ugly, strange, or uncomfortable.
I value transparent and open communication, ensuring that nothing is a black box. My approach includes visual storytelling and simplifying complex ideas through an 'explain it like I'm 5' approach.
I am a seasoned, impact-focused, software engineer and leader.
Across
the tech stack, from relational databases to api's, cloud
services and frontend UI's, my tools are live, currently
implemented by companies within and outside of the F500, like
Amazon, Lego, T-Mobile, and Intel.
Scan and map your business terrain. Expose and diagnose root
causes. Reveal the true business needs, goals, and challenges.
Collect and transfer domain specific knowledge.
With
a clear picture of where you are, where you want to be, and the
gap between those two points, we'll expose points of
resistance and identify the highest leverage targets and
solutions.
Plot your vision of the future and
transform it into clear, actionable technical scope
documentation with measurable, atomic units of work.
Whether it's jumping in to wrangle legacy code with a
seasoned dev team, scaling an existing product or solo building
greenfield projects from scratch, I use proven design patterns
and healthy engineering conventions to guide the development of
databases, api's, automations, ETL pipelines, and frontend
UI's with technologies like:
- SQL, SQLServer, Postgresql
- Prisma, SQLAlchemy
-
AWS, cognito, lambda, amplify, S3, EC2
- Javascript,
Python, React
- Tool/language/paradigm agnostic -
I'll learn and use whatever is critically essential for
the project's success
Here, business problems are introduced for the
first time to their solutions, so things rarely according to
plan. My years of experience executing high-stakes objectives
supports the agility required to see around corners, think
critically, and get creative on the fly.
After
completion, we'll assess our measured outcomes. The code
and system design will be well documented so you have full
control, ownership and transparency for your codebase and tools.
No black boxes.
Communication isn't just how we speak. It's how we
listen, how we craft stories, and how we ask. It's what we
write in docs, visual diagramming, notes, among many other
channels. Philosophies and values are carried on, evolved and
amplified through these channels.
From defining
guiding principles and communication pipelines through
experimentation, we'll implement modern collaboration
strategies tailored to support your team's growth.
True growth and impact don't happen without
accountability and the guiding light of effective, true
leadership. Starting from a birds eye perspective, we'll
zoom in to sift through the hard truths and the resistance on
the road to strong leadership.
Culturally, we are
trying to create an ecosystem in which it is as easy as possible
for every single person to do their jobs, execute, and grow.
