Engineering Manager + Staff Software Engineer

Software engineering leadership for teams that need product velocity and production judgment.

I help teams find and remove the constraint slowing delivery, whether it sits in product workflow, platform architecture, data, infrastructure, production operations, or team execution.

Selected Teams

Places I have helped ship real software.

The proof is in production: identity verification, recruiting platforms, marine service operations, and workflow systems where reliability, data quality, and delivery discipline mattered after launch.

ID.me logo

Trust workflows, marketplace systems, metrics, OAuth, and identity product work.

Yello logo

Recruiting platform leadership, team delivery, reliability work, and practical AI integration.

MarineMax logo

Marine service operations, customer-facing systems, reporting, and acquisition-era platform work.

Boatyard logo

Service workflow software, integrations, operational tooling, and the kind of details customers actually notice.

Platform Architecture Applications, APIs, data models, and service boundaries shaped around the constraints the team actually has to operate.
Team Execution Hands-on leadership that keeps product, support, executives, and engineers aligned around the next shippable move.
Reliability Work Production incidents, regression coverage, feature flags, observability, and operational fixes that reduce repeat failure.

What I Do

Practical engineering leadership from unclear problem to production result.

Turn complex workflows into product capability

I model the business rules, simplify the data paths, and turn operational edge cases into product behavior the team can build on.

Stabilize and modernize the platform

I improve reliability, deployments, test coverage, developer experience, and incident response without losing sight of delivery.

Lead through ambiguity

I get deep enough into the system to explain the tradeoffs, then turn unclear problems into implementation paths teams can execute.

Role Fit

Where I add leverage quickly.

Engineering Manager Hands-on manager for platform engineering, product engineering, recruiting technology, and distributed teams.
Staff Software Engineer Technical lead for application architecture, PostgreSQL data models, APIs, integrations, and production reliability.
AI Platform Delivery Practical LLM and AWS Bedrock integration for summaries, insights, enterprise workflows, and administrative tooling.

Career Snapshot

Built in high-trust, high-velocity environments.

From ID.me identity workflows to Yello.co recruiting platforms, I have worked where reliability, data quality, and product judgement all matter at the same time.
