My expertise spans D2C and B2B product development, and I excel in transformative leadership, technical development, and quality assurance. Mentoring and developing engineering talent is a passion of mine. I've significantly reduced onboarding time and increased developer velocity, fostering a collaborative environment by working closely with cross-functional teams to ensure seamless project delivery. My goal is to nurture the next generation of STEM leaders, push boundaries, and inspire innovation.
