VP Engineering @ Vividly, ex Ro, BuzzFeed

Software Engineering Leader with 10+ years professional engineering experience ranging from IC to Head of Engineering for large and small teams. Specializes in building and scaling teams that are motivated and empowered to develop world-class products. Understands the needs and challenges from working with engineering teams sized 10 to 100, including growing pains, optimizing for impact, and trying to remain nimble/flexible. Passionate about building engaging and dynamic experiences for users. But mostly, I'm an empathetic people person. I'm the first to start chatting and making jokes in a crowd of strangers.
