Who am I?
I graduated from the University of Minnesota Twin Cities Campus with a degree in computer science with an emphasis on network programming. Since then I have worked my way up the software engineer ladder and have been given the opportunity to take on many unique roles along the way ranging from software engineer, to developer advocate/documentation guru, to now engineering manager. I enjoy a healthy balance of being involved in technical priority conversations to helping engineers get the most out of their career and helping them grow.
