Hi! I'm a software engineering leader, and this is where I host my writing.

I'm currently preparing to transition into a new unannounced leadership role. Before that, I got to work at Walmart Labs Canada and IBM.

I started my career as a chemical engineer. The dotcom crash scared me away from software engineering for a while. I still veered towards anything that involved math or programming, such as:

• computational fluid dynamics (CFD),
• hybrid vehicles and energy hub modelling,
• process reliability simulations, and
• spare parts inventory optimization.

Currently I have three main learning interests:

• growing as an engineering leader
• improving software delivery with agile, devops, and systems thinking
• utilizing distributed computing to scale software delivery infrastructure

I love to teach and explain deeper layers of the software stack.
