All about me, professionally.

Skills/Competencies

I started designing websites and building applications (for real) around 2002. Learning to code spawned from the desire to bring my designs to life, but programming quickly became a passion. My current role pulls me away from code a bit, but adds a new kind of challenge. I'm very fortunate to love all aspects of what I do.

Current Job

2021—Present: Senior Engineering Manager

I'm still at SolarWinds. After spending 5-6 years as a Staff Engineer, I've moved into an Engineering Manager role. My goal is to help my team(s) grow and ship better code, faster.

~Job Details

  • Meetings, meetings, meetings... Collaboration with product and other teams is essential.

  • Work with engineers to teach, build relationships, and shield from distractions so they can do their best work.

  • Lots of focus on process improvements, feature planning, and a little bit of coding :-)
