View on LinkedInAbout Me
I am an engineering leader with over a decade of experience building and leading high-performing teams. I have expertise in scaling products (100M+ users) while maintaining high standards, integrating acquired companies, and developing tech leaders. I have a proven track record for establishing processes that define successful hiring strategies, from the interview and onboarding stage to career development frameworks and performance management.
Career Highlights
I began my career as a Level Designer on Grand Theft Auto IV at Rockstar Games. From there, I progressed into leadership roles, eventually becoming the VP of Engineering for Trello, where I successfully grew the engineering team from 20 to 200. I led that team to scale the business to 100M+ users, 10M+ monthly active users, and 1B+ API requests. I also pioneered effective remote work practices before they became mainstream, developed Trello's enterprise offering (onboarding Fortune 500 clients), and successfully integrated with Atlassian post-acquisition. On the CTO leadership team at Atlassian, I worked with other engineering leaders to roll out processes across our 2,000+ person engineering team.
