About
I am an experienced leader in SaaS, passionate about building cloud-based analytics applications.
I am skilled at leading Engineering and Product teams across multiple time zones, diagnosing and resolving development velocity issues by measuring what matters.
I practice servant leadership. I enjoy mentoring developers, PMs and managers to help them achieve their dreams.
I like working in product-led organizations, and I love solving business and technical challenges by being product driven and data driven.
I'm pragmatic with software development processes and I thrive in organized chaos.
I'm deep in the data and analytics space, and I apply it to different domains. I have fond memories of working in the MarTech, HR Tech and in the gaming industry.
I progressed through a number of engineering roles over the last 20 years - developer, technical lead, senior developer, software development manager, director of engineering, senior director of engineering, VP of Engineering, and Chief Product Development Officer.
I have Simon Fraser University to thank for my education and career. I was awarded the Academic Silver Medal from the Governor General of Canada for my academic achievement.

What do you do if the employer offers a lower salary than you expected during the interview process?
I find it always helpful to first understand why such an offer is being made. For example, is the company simply trying to save money? Is it an indication that the company doesn't care about talents? Is it a result of the current market condition? The answers will decide the best course of action, and sometimes you may dodge a bullet by learning the company's talent philosophy early this way.
