“The most dangerous phrase in the language is: ‘We’ve always done it this way.’”
In this cross-disciplinary role, I spearhead strategies for designing and enhancing developer tooling and experiences across the Microsoft ecosystem—from Visual Studio Code and GitHub to Azure. My work directly contributes to increased customer satisfaction, reduced friction, and broader adoption of our platform offerings.
In this role I work intersectionally leading and consulting for engineering teams, supporting customers and partners and GTM teams, from a deeply technical perspective.
Not only do I excel in strategic thinking and product truth, I contribute code to products (both open and closed source) on a daily basis and have written extensive development quality guidelines for Azure template authoring.
Other notable internal contributions include contributing to the deprecation of older Node.js versions in the Azure platform, consulting for the Mariner team on Node.js support, acting as the liaison between the Microsoft Windows team and the Node.js TSC, and supporting the replatforming of partners from other clouds, to Azure.
I helped customers unlock peak performance for their MongoDB cloud deployments by fine-tuning cluster configurations, optimizing data models, and refining application implementations. Working alongside sales teams during critical customer engagements, I provided technical expertise that directly contributed to successful deal closures. I also guided economic buyers and executives in evaluating whether our data cloud services aligned with their strategic needs.
As Lead Developer in the Adobe Experience Manager ecosystem, I wore multiple hats—from fullstack developer to frontend architect—for several global enterprise platforms. Working hand-in-hand with UX teams and platform stakeholders, I delivered high-performance, mission-critical web solutions that met exacting standards.
As part of this role, I contributed to Adobe Edge Delivery Services development as an open-source contributor, to shape their frontend delivery.
Before that I was a fullstack developer in the LAMP stack working as a freelancer and consultant.
My career progression reflects a deliberate path from hands-on engineering to technical leadership roles with increasing scope and impact. Each transition has built upon previous experience while adding new dimensions to my technical and leadership capabilities.
