I'm a seasoned engineering manager with genuine enthusiasm for nurturing staff members to bring out their best work. From a business perspective, I am a results-driven pragmatist with a keen eye for the strategic implications of the projects on which I work. With my experience split between startups and corporate work, I bring a lean, hungry approach to getting things done, tempered by an ability to 'pick my battles' in the corporate world. I've managed teams on three continents, I'm skilled at understanding and bridging cultural divides, and I love to travel. From a technical perspective, I have experience on a wide variety of platforms and frameworks, especially modern HTML/Javascript in the browser, Python on Linux, C# and VB.NET with ASP.NET on Windows. I firmly believe in the old adage "a stitch, in time, saves nine" and support (and demand) my staff's appropriate up-front investments in one-liner dev environment setups, continuous builds, automated tests, and one-click, zero-downtime deployments in order to be able to maintain productivity over time.
