About

I help product development teams align with the product strategy, adopt agile
practices, and build end-to-end systems. I believe high-performing teams create the
best organizational culture. I value lean methodologies, extreme programming (XP)
practices, and the DevOps culture.

My background is in programming, leading teams, and software architecture. I have consulted on different problems on algorithms, rapid prototyping, concurrent systems, and data science. I have led teams to deliver greenfield and enterprise products. My technical experience spans different Architecture styles and disciplines (back-end, front-end, QA automation, performance testing, DevOps, and Cloud-AWS).

      - Establishing software quality metrics across the Engineering organization, periodic assessments within engagements and presentations to clients to plan for quality improvements.

The largest initiative was to support QA Manual to add QA automation skills. There was a 75% increase in QA automation in little over two years. Even more importantly, this led to a strong culture of automation in QA.

The real big lessons were on the commercial side of the organization, due to the exposure to Sales.

      Led the delivery of green field products built with different technology stacks.

This experience gave me a good understanding of rapid prototyping and delivery on a tight budget (budgets were tight because of the 2008 economic crisis).
