principles

values I follow

🤔 Context-driven

Solutions based on assumptions are dangerous. I approach each situation with a desire to better understand the users, business goals, team culture, and technical capabilities, so that I can develop a thoughtful solution.

🤝 Collaboration first

If you want to go fast, go alone. If you want to go far, go together. I believe the most powerful tool we have are people. When teams are able to unite towards a common goal, the impossible becomes possible.

✋ Embracing challenges

Facing challenges is inevitable, but how we respond to them is what truly matters. Even in failure there’s opportunity to grow. I’m committed to creating a safe environment that fosters learning, resilience, and continuous growth.

🪓 Trusting the process

Go slow to go fast. We all have an endless list of tasks that can distract us from achieving meaningful, immediate goals. I work with teams to strategize and focus on thoughtful and effective actions with lasting impact.
