I was hired by Cox Automotive, then called Dealer.com, as an
Engineering Manager, one of two in their Manhattan Beach, CA office.
I managed engineers who were parts of 2 scrum teams, a total of 7
individuals.
\end{cvparagraph}

\begin{cvparagraph}
Prior to becoming an Engineering Manager in my career, I had been a
software engineer, and after becoming an Engineering Manager, I kept my
hands in the code, usually by intercepting one-off requests that
risked derailing my teams' planned efforts.\@ In late 2016, Cox
Automotive decided to end its engineering presence in Manhattan
Beach.\@ At that point, I transitioned to an individual contributor role as a
Senior Developer, and I began working remotely as part of a Scrum team based
in Burlington, VT.\@ After working remotely for a year I chose to
relocate to Burlington, VT hoping to improve advancement opportunities.
Joined Cox Automotive (then Dealer.com) in 2013 as an Engineering Manager in the Manhattan Beach, CA office,
leading 7 engineers across 2 scrum teams. Follwing the closure of that office, I transitioned to an individual
contributor role as a Senior Developer in late 2016, then relocated to Burlington, VT in 2017 to pursue
technical leadership opportunities as a Scrum Tech Lead and Lead Software Engineer.

I joined this newly forming scrum team focused on a new reporting tool, Command Center.
Its goal is to bring together Reporting and Analytics for a broad array of Cox products.
Currently each product sold by Cox Automotive includes its own data analytics and reporting systems.
Initially Command Center will be a jumping off point to the scattered reporting sub-systems, and slowly
take over reporting directly from within Command Center for more and more use cases.

\begin{cvparagraph}
I'm seeking a role as a Lead Software Engineer. My career includes
time as a Lead Software Developer and as an Engineering Manager. I've
concluded that I enjoy the former more. I enjoy having my hands in
the architecture, design, coding, testing, deploying, monitoring, and
overall ownership of a software system. I understand that there's
more to developing reliable, scalable, maintainable, and performant
software systems than simply writing the code. I enjoy the team
building process and helping to mentor all team members to grow and
develop.
Lead Software Engineer with deep experience designing, building, and operating reliable, scalable
distributed systems. Strong technical foundation across AWS cloud-native architectures (EKS, ECS,
Lambda), the Spring ecosystem, and modern DevOps practices (Kubernetes, GitOps, Terraform).
Equally comfortable as a hands-on Scrum Tech Lead driving architecture and design
decisions and as a former Engineering Manager who values mentorship, technical growth, and team
ownership of systems end-to-end --- from design through deployment, monitoring, and production
support.
