About

Engineering Manager at Spotify with six years of experience leading frontend engineering teams. I came up as a self-taught frontend developer and spent over a decade building products before moving into leadership -- which means I understand both sides of the table.

I lead with transparency and psychological safety. My teams know they can bring me the real problems, not just the polished ones. I bridge the gap between what engineers need to do their best work and what the business needs to move forward.

Previously at Mailchimp, where I made the transition from Software Engineer to Engineering Manager. Before that, frontend roles at ParkMobile and a decade of freelance work.
