Full-time: Head of Engineering, Web ECOM, Staff & Customers @ Square

Part-time: Engineering Coach @ MentorCruise

Head of Engineering with 15+ years in the tech industry, navigating everything from scaling performance and infrastructure, company re-organization and acquisition, to scaling teams. I've had the thrill of overseeing engineering for product suites that generate $2.4B in GPV annually, $175M in gross profit, and bringing joy to 250,000 active users. From leading cozy teams of 10 to managing larger organizations of 110, I've seen it all and loved every minute.

Throughout my career, I've had the pleasure of hiring over 100 engineers and engineering managers. I've partnered with heads of product, design, data science, and product marketing, making sure we're all marching to the same beat.

My passion? Professionalizing engineering teams and building crazy ideas. From turbocharging velocity with streamlined systems to crafting seamless hiring and product development processes, I'm all in. And yes, I might throw in a joke or two to keep things lively.
