Engineering leader with 10+ years building and scaling software teams at actuarial, defense, and commercial
technology firms. My best work is as a player-coach: close enough to the architecture and code to anticipate
blockers and keep engineers unblocked, senior enough to coordinate across stakeholders and protect team focus.
A Duke MBA, a JD, and hands-on engineering background let me operate across technical execution, business
strategy, and external negotiations in ways most engineering managers cannot.
