I have spent my career focusing on one thing, the people. Yes, the tech is important, but if you don't build the people up around you, all of this work is for nothing. For the last several years I have been working in Technical Marketing for various companies, ensuring that a cohesive and powerful message is made available to customers. I have operated as Team Lead on many projects, mentored many young engineers and even some senior and principal level folks, and am now considering moving into Engineering Leadership.
