I have been fascinated with technology as far back as I can remember. I was born during 'The Tech Boom' so we had personal computers, gaming systems, synthesized music, and eventually the internet. The first movie I recall seeing in theaters was Back To The Future and I grew up watching movies like Tron and RoboCop (on TBS, my parents weren't letting me watch rated R movies). Whether it was masked crusaders thwarting sinister plots with their inventions or teenagers with attitude piloting massive robots to defend the planet, I knew that technology in the right hands was a powerful tool for solving problems. While I started by building computers and programming websites, today I help people, teams, and organizations to effectively build valuable technology solutions with over a decade of experience in Lean, Agile, and Product Development. I have been called a thought leader because of my ability to look at concepts through a different lens and draw correlations across roles and disciplines. Likewise, I've been told by my direct supervisor that thought leadership content is my superpower. I love leveraging my cross-functional skill set to introduce people to new ways of working that promotes value for customers, organizations, and our own lives. Reach out to me if you're looking for a public speaker or product development, agile, or DevOps guidance.
