The Manager Reset: 5 Conversations New Tech Leader Must Have

I am a self‑taught developer and tech leader with a professional career spanning nearly two decades. Since 2006, I have shipped more than 200 projects for companies and clients across Los Angeles — including Jukin Media, HP, Pepsi, Intel, Swarovski, political organizations, nonprofits, and public figures.

I have worked for in both startups and large enterprises, building everything from custom CMS platforms and full social networks to video platforms, mobile apps, and AI solutions.

Throughout my career, I have served as a tech lead, principal consultant, and now Director of AI, leading cross‑functional teams and delivering complex software products end‑to‑end. In addition I mentor and coach developers at all career levels, helping them grow into confident engineers and future leaders.

For three decades, I’ve built high‑performance, human‑centered teams at the intersection of technology, leadership, and product thinking.

I help leaders navigate the AI era by designing systems that unlock team potential, reduce waste, and translate strategic intent into measurable outcomes.

My work focuses on blending AI‑enabled ways of working with clear goals, empowered teams, and pragmatic execution—whether through OKRs, product-oriented thinking, or modern leadership practices.

As a mentor, author, and collaborator, I support leaders in adopting practical, ethical, and sustainable approaches that help their teams thrive. Let’s build something better.
