I'm a Technical Program Manager, leader and trained as an engineer.
I received my Bachelor of Science with Comprehensive Honors at the University of California, Santa Cruz in Computer Engineering with a focus on embedded systems. I worked on 8-bit/16-bit embedded microprocessors and RF (Radio Frequency) in Telecom applications for which I received the Dean's Award and Chancellor's Award.
Since graduating and over the last 20+ years, I have been working on highly complex cross-functional software, hardware and semiconductor projects in California, Boston and New York. Including Peloton, Google, Xilinx and Integrated Device Technology (acquired by Rensas).
I have working Voice technologies including wake word, transcription, translation, natural language understanding (NLU) at Peloton and networking technologies including multi-100G SmartNIC (Network Interface Card) and planetary-scale software defined traffic engineering programs.
I'm a father of one and approach learning through exploration in the outdoors. My hobbies include triathlon (swimming, cycling, and running), but I have been known to rock-climb, mountaineer, backpack, scuba dive and engage heavily in sport as I have found there are many parallels between sport and work.
I thrive in leading teams and programs through complex multidimensional problems typically involving tricky technical tradeoffs, lack of clarity on customer needs and leading teams through organizational challenges. Typically these programs span many organizations, dozens of teams and up to several hundred engineers in programs over many years.
I have lead projects using WBS and Agile principles. My focus is on incorporating project-appropriate structure and process focused on enabling development velocity.
