I'm passionate about AI and actively develop AI-based systems. Despite the fast-changing landscape, I've gained useful insights and enjoy sharing ways to boost team productivity or design AI-centric products.
I possess a fairly extensive and broad background in product and engineering. If your company is not achieving its desired outcomes, I can provide an independent analysis and offer recommendations, including both quick wins and longer-term strategies.
Is your company struggling to achieve consistent software quality? Have embarrassing bugs shipped? Does your testing consume too much of your engineering resources? I have 25 years of experience developing smart testing approaches which reduce costs and drive up quality. Ask me about developing an Engineering Capability Maturity Model road map for your organization.
At Microsoft, I worked on small startup teams as well as products as big as Microsoft Windows and Microsoft Office. These experiences help me recognize what is immediate low-hanging fruit and what will require a staged improvement process. I share my wisdom and experience and drive an understanding up and down the organization so we navigate to our north star, unified.
I love what I do which is to innovate and improve. I bring energy and enthusiasm to an organization while inspiring achievement. I have a track record for innovation and hold several software patents. I also know how to bridge the gap between business needs and an engineering team's wants to ensure they remain synergistic.
Good enough is not good enough. I take my work personal and treat others with respect and compassion. I use data and a systems thinking model to help me determine where improvements are required in the people, processes, or tools. I drive these improvements with a positive, can-do attitude, that achieves while contributing to a positive culture.
