Bio

I am a seasoned technologist and business strategist, expert in leading teams, writing code, finding value in data, designing large-scale systems and providing a unified product vision. I enjoy the unique challenges in technical leadership and strategy; I find mentoring people while honing their strengths and goals to be uniquely rewarding. I am privileged to have a diverse academic background - my academic journey combines computer science, molecular biology and business administration. Professionally, I worked in many different industries, including services, hosting, cloud computing, sports and entertainment, business intelligence, bioinformatics, e-learning, and travel. Having such diverse experiences elicited what really matters to me: ✔ Be passionate about what I do and instill that same spirit in my teams. ✔ Thrive on challenges. I will never shy away from anything because it is too hard. I will run towards the fire and calmly put it out. ✔ Seek knowledge. I am an avid learner and a perpetual student at heart. ✔ Always Innovate! Drive change and implement best practices; evangelize; never be afraid to challenge the status quo. ✔ Inspire others through actions and measurable deliverables. When I am not making the world a better place one class file at a time, you'll probably see me with an athletic bag on my shoulders. I am a little bit of a sports junkie, and particularly a Crossfit addict. I have been known to create an epidemic of fitness recovery, smoking cessation and weight loss around me, so beware!
