Experience, Perspective, and Energy: What Sets Me Apart
When companies look to hire technology leaders, they often search for two things: experience and energy. Finding both in the same person is rare.
Over the past 26 years, I’ve built a career that spans system administration, product ownership, and IT leadership. Each role gave me a different lens on technology, business, and people. Together, they formed a perspective that is hard to duplicate.
What makes this unique is not just the depth of experience, but the way those roles connect. I know what it feels like to keep servers alive at 2 a.m. I know how to translate business needs into features that developers can deliver. I’ve balanced long-term technical decisions against short-term business pressures. And I’ve led teams where success depended not on my individual output, but on how well others thrived.
And while I am not young, my energy often outpaces those who are. That drive doesn’t come from energy drinks or bottomless coffee pots. It comes from passion. I love what I do, and that enthusiasm fuels every conversation, every project, and every challenge I take on.
For organizations, that combination matters. It means hiring someone who brings the wisdom of experience, the perspective of multiple roles, and the energy of someone who is still excited to build, lead, and deliver. In a market where depth and passion are both rare, I bring both to the table.
