IMSI Design

Team-based solution provider for Product Development and Systems Engineering. Managed all software operations and support across three geographic development areas.

Created ground-up development teams to take over failing legacy systems and created self-running solutions to lowered operational COGs. This required the starting of automation and data-driven decision-making practices.
 
Implemented global version control/defect tracking system, and maintained communication pipelines between foreign development houses

System Engineering Manager

My first non-student job, developing geometry components for a CAD solution using Turbo Pascal and eventually MFC 1.0

Eventually managed developer team for Windows-based application development. This led to commercial success and realized that my value was more around program management to help guarantee delivery, but also code as a secondary value-add. This QA need turned into the creation of an application uninstaller that coincided with the Windows 95 release.

Specialization in digital transformation, distributed development, data platforms, and acquisition integration. I view myself as a digital plumber with battle-scar experience around building highly scalable systems with people, technology, and just enough process to realize iterative progress. 

I enjoy taking on complex challenges in emerging markets and driving change.
