A skilled technical leader with over 20 years of real-world experience. I love designing and building scalable systems, all the way from the front end to the Linux kernel. I thrive when mentoring younger engineers, challenging them to understand technical details in depth and grow to their fullest potential. I have built and led tightly-knit teams of committed engineers with a strong culture for excellence and camaraderie. I believe in open communication and the free flow of information to ensure steady progress in short, meaningful iterations. If you can't describe something fully, you haven't really understood it.
