My passion for Software Delivery is driven by facilitating success, fostering blameless accountability, and balancing development experience with security and governance requirements. DevSecOps practices impact the entire software lifecycle, and helping teams deliver exceptional software that is high quality, high value and secure is my ultimate goal.
Harness, a customer-focused company, aligns with my values and commitment to improving engineers' lives, making it the perfect next step in my career. My 30+ years in software development, architecture, and delivery in multiple technical environments and sectors ultimately led me to a transformative journey at Advanced, beginning as an Application Architect, and later becoming a Development Manager for 20+ educational products.
In 2013, I spearheaded Advanced’s cloud migration, marking my introduction to DevOps and the creation of Advanced's first DevOps team. As Director for DevOps and IaaS, I built dedicated squads and the broader community, mentoring and training to deliver at scale.
