About

I’m an engineering manager in Cumberland, Maine, just outside Portland. I’ve spent about fourteen years in software. I started in QA, writing automated tests for industrial software at Kepware, then moved into leading the people who do that work, and eventually whole cross-functional teams. Most recently I managed a team building regulated neurorehabilitation products at MedRhythms.

That QA background still shapes how I lead. I like knowing how things break, and I want the people fixing them to feel supported, not blamed. I care about calm, predictable releases, retros that actually change something, and teams where someone new feels safe asking the “obvious” question in their first week. The thing I’m proudest of from my last team is simple: people stayed.

Outside of work, I’m married with one kid. I read a lot, always have music on, play games, and take photos. For eleven years I played in Extra Life, a gaming marathon for charity, raising over $10,000 for Barbara Bush Children’s Hospital and helping lead the Portland chapter.

I also build small side projects, mostly to learn. Lately that includes building with AI, sometimes all the way and sometimes not at all, and paying attention to what changes. I’m not an AI expert. I’m a practitioner taking notes.
