Sr. Director AI Platform Engineering

I am a very purpose driven person and truly enjoy building high functioning teams. I strive to create a work hard/play hard environment for my teams and am extremely passionate about bringing out the best in people. I am currently leading the teams that built Rocket Mortgage, the first, fully online and on-demand mortgage experience. This has been an extremely thrilling journey to digitize a very complex mortgage process and in turn enable the consumer to shop for the best option for them without ever leaving their home. I joined QL in 2005 as a Software Quality Assurance Engineer and have worked on several big and small technology projects that have helped shape the future of the mortgage industry. I am also the founding member of a QL startup called Quizzle.com, a personal finance and credit management web application which was then bought by Bankrate.com. Working in this startup culture and wearing multiple hats to satisfy the needs of a growing business truly shaped my career and a general outlook on how to be the best in the FinTech space. Technology fascinates me and I am equally passionate about building software that will help simplify life and decisions for people. I love influencing people and have developed many frameworks and programs to guide and facilitate objective growth for my leaders and team members. At my core, I am a firm believer in giving chances and will bend over backwards for someone who is ready to give in their best when given that chance.
