Software Engineering Manager | Team Builder
With a robust educational foundation in Computer Science from Metro State University and North Hennepin Community College, I have developed a dynamic career in software engineering and management. My recent role as a Software Engineering Manager at NetSPI involved leading a diverse team to double client projects and optimize integration frameworks, significantly enhancing data accuracy. Previously, at C.H. Robinson, I achieved a remarkable 8x increase in developer productivity and streamlined cost-saving processes. At Datasite, I managed a global platform for over a million users, improving NPS scores and earnings. My leadership style emphasizes team growth, psychological safety, and innovation, fostering an environment where collaboration thrives. With a proven track record in scaling teams and driving performance, I am committed to delivering strategic solutions and cultivating a positive team culture.
