01 / About
I bridge the gap between complex technical decisions and the business outcome someone is waiting on.
My path ran frontend engineer → tech lead → Technical Architect and PMP-certified Project Manager. That order matters: I estimate work I have actually done, and I can tell when a status update is optimistic.
