About Me

Hi there! This page includes accolades farther down the page. But let's start with a quick introduction.

Introduction

I'm a techonologist that's passionate about learning, empowering others, and driving value. I accomplish this by following frameworks, decentralizing decision making resources, and being an advocate for the mission and clearly communicating objectives. Now that I'm further along in my career, I judge my successes more on how I help those around me than my own achievements.
