Curriculum Vitae · Resume
Leading Teams That Ship
10+ years evolving from hands-on web designer to cross-functional project leader. I bridge the gap between technical teams and business stakeholders — translating requirements into realistic timelines, unblocking engineers and designers, and keeping everyone aligned on what matters: shipping quality work, on time. My edge: I understand the stack end to end. When a developer flags a technical risk, I don't just relay it — I assess it, reframe it for the stakeholder, and negotiate a solution that works for both sides.
