Results & Credentials.

I'm seeking a principal-level leadership role where I can drive business impact through architectural depth, emerging technology adoption, and growing engineering teams. I bring both strategic vision and hands-on delivery.

Yes. Currently based in Atlanta, GA with flexibility across Dallas, TX and Maryland. Open to domestic relocation for the right principal-level opportunity. Relocation assistance appreciated.

I'm productive in remote, hybrid, and onsite environments. Remote allows me to maximize family time and focused deep work. Happy to discuss the structure that works best for the team.

Yes. US Citizen with interest in government contracting and regulated environments. No current security clearance, but actively pursuing this path for the right opportunity at appropriate compensation.

I propose solutions grounded in business impact, alignment with the project vision, and an obsession with what the customer actually needs — sometimes rather than what they want when they haven't fully scoped the problem.

One sprint (2 weeks) to deliver a meaningful first contribution in most environments. For Autodesk API or .NET desktop work, often just a few days — I'm intimately familiar with the development environment and ecosystem.

Yes. Contract-to-hire is a strong option, especially for Autodesk platform or .NET architecture work where both sides benefit from a proof period.

Micromanagement and organizational dishonesty. I thrive in high-trust environments where I'm accountable for outcomes, not watched for activity.

Enterprise environments with 10,000+ employees — I prefer the scale and contribution size. I also excel at wearing many hats in smaller creative environments where the challenges can be just as demanding.

Three interviews maximum: fit conversation, technical deep-dive, and offer discussion. I bring real production examples — not whiteboard abstractions.

Yes. Most production experience in Azure (DevOps, cloud services). Expanding AWS experience. CI/CD across Azure DevOps, GitHub Actions, and Jenkins. Docker with Linux.

Both. I architect and implement in the same sprint. I prefer architecture ownership but have consistently delivered hands-on across every role. This is my differentiator — I don't hand off designs I haven't proven in production.

Pyramid testing: unit tests at the base, integration tests in the middle, E2E and regression at the top. Production-safe means the feature is complete end-to-end with test coverage that prevents regression.

Continuous learning through LinkedIn Learning (70+ certifications), YouTube technical channels, technology publications, Y Combinator startup resources, and most importantly — building hobby projects with frontier technologies so growth is driven by experience, not just theory.
