As a technical leader, I aim to set up full-stack web and mobile software development teams for success.
Technology-wise, this means setting up the right tools from the start, which includes but is not limited to automated tasks for code style, unit tests, CI/CD workflows, deployments and releases.
Team-wise, it includes setting expectations in a transparent manner, which includes but is not limited to extensive style guides for all languages and frameworks used, code examples, libraries and design systems to support developers of all experience levels and backgrounds, as well as fair sourcing, interviewing, and structured assessment practices when hiring.
I prioritize building the right organization framework and processes up front to create a supportive, healthy environment so teams can do their best work. My primary goals are to increase productivity so that team members feel empowered, have a sense of ownership, and are motivated to ship quickly, and avoid scenarios that can introduce conflict and leave engineers feeling unmotivated.
When building teams, I put a strong emphasis on Diversity, Equity and Inclusion, and require that any company that chooses to work with me has those same values or is at least willing to grow in that area.
