I’m currently the Data Engineering Manager at UW Medicine in Seattle, where I lead a team of developers. Outside of work, I love reading and spending time with my wife and our 11-year-old Mastiff, Tinkerbell.
My background is leading software development teams. I currently manage a team of 16 Data Engineers, and am experienced with leading technical teams of 25+ people.
I have previously been a VP of Operations, Director of Software Development, Manager of DevOps, PMO Manager, and Project Manager.
I am Prosci, CSPO, and CSM certified.
I’m an ambitious and results-focused HR leader passionate about growth in companies, starting with people. My experience has given me a broad HR perspective in a variety of environments, from Fortune 50 to start-ups. I especially enjoy the fast pace and scrappiness of small- and medium-sized companies, where I can make a meaningful and lasting impact on the business.
