About

The longer version

Most engineers know what to build. Fewer know why it matters — or how to fight for the right thing when timelines, stakeholders, and competing priorities all pull in different directions.

I spent two years as a Product Manager at Anglepoint before returning to engineering as an SE3. That stretch — sitting in user research sessions, writing specs, defending roadmap decisions to leadership, and watching features live or die in the market — fundamentally changed how I write code. I build things I've personally seen users struggle with. I scope features with the delivery pressure of someone who's been accountable for the timeline. I review PRs knowing what the feature is trying to do, not just whether the syntax compiles.

On the technical side, I've spent five years as a full stack engineer on an enterprise Software Asset Management platform — the kind of product where correctness matters, scale is a given, and "it worked in dev" is never a good enough answer. I led a full AngularJS-to-Angular migration with one other engineer, built REST APIs consumed by thousands of users, and acted as the frontend subject matter expert across multiple subsystems during a major .NET solution migration.

I'm currently a Software Engineer at Filevine — a legal operations platform built for law firms — working on the frontend with Svelte and TypeScript. It's a different domain than enterprise SAM, but the same discipline: complex data, real users, and software that has to work.

I'm also open to what's next.

What I bring

Why it's different

🧭

Product intuition, built in.

Two years owning a product roadmap means I understand what features are worth fighting for, how to scope against real constraints, and how engineering decisions ripple into user outcomes. I don't need product to explain why something matters — I already know.

⚙️

Frontend depth, not breadth.

Angular specialist with five years on a complex, multi-subsystem enterprise application. I've done the full AngularJS-to-Angular migration, owned the frontend architecture, and shipped features that had to work for thousands of users from day one. I write code that the next engineer will thank you for.

🤝

Engineering culture, not just code.

I've mentored junior engineers, conducted code reviews with an eye for growth rather than just correctness, and contributed to hiring decisions. I care about the team around me as much as the codebase. Good culture compounds.

Experience

Where I've been

Software Engineer 3

Anglepoint · Nov 2022 – Sep 2024

  • Frontend subject matter expert on a major .NET solution migration — responsible for two subsystems from architecture decisions through deployment
  • Led multiple features end-to-end: requirements, implementation, code review, and rollout, with full accountability for delivery
  • Mentored junior engineers through code reviews focused on building understanding, not just fixing bugs
  • Joined the engineering hiring panel — interviewed candidates, reviewed resumes, and helped define what "good" looks like at the SE level
📈

Product Manager

Anglepoint · Oct 2020 – Nov 2022

  • Grew monthly active users by 33% through a combination of targeted feature work, user research, and tighter alignment between product and engineering
  • Led the product through Gartner industry leader recognition two years in a row — coordinating positioning, roadmap, and delivery across the company
  • Built the feedback loop between users and the engineering team: synthesized qualitative research into actionable specs with clear acceptance criteria
  • Managed competing stakeholder priorities and set realistic timelines that the engineering team could actually hit
🔧

Software Engineer 2

Anglepoint · Aug 2018 – Oct 2020

  • Co-led the migration of a large enterprise codebase from AngularJS to Angular — two engineers, live production product, no big-bang rewrite
  • Worked as a full stack engineer: Angular on the frontend, C#/ASP.NET on the back, MS SQL Server for data — across a proprietary project management platform
  • Built and consumed REST APIs, integrated third-party publisher data sources, and reviewed and adopted new npm and NuGet packages into the stack
  • Championed a consistent visual design system — standardized fonts, spacing, components, and layout patterns that made the product feel like one thing
