I play multiple roles, manager, leader, architect. My deep understanding of business is complimented by my years of technical knowledge and experience. I love technology, and I love solving business problems.

As a proven, highly technical architect, I specialize in helping teams transform existing monolithic applications into modular, service oriented systems, replatforming legacy codebases, opening up new business through tactical and strategic technical changes.

As a manager, I believe in the power of teams. I have seen first hand what happens when a team achieves cohesion and starts performing. I use empathy, leadership skills, and communication skills to understand the driving forces in teams. I use servant leadership, trust building, and transparency to build up teams. I use analytics, one-on-ones, and communication skills to track and accelerate performance. These techniques have helped me to build teams that perform far beyond the sum of their parts.

As an executive, I believe in outcomes, not output. Creating a shared ownership for the outcomes and a shared vision for what we are striving for is the most important contribution that I make. I do not believe in command-and-control, but instead revel in watching people who are given goals, the vision, and the power to achieve them rise to the occasion and amaze me with their motivation and innovation.
