Work. For some time now, I've been working closely with engineers, first as a Front-end Engineer and Designer, then as a Tech Lead and now as an Engineering Manager. I've spent the last 5 years at a startup where I joined as employee #3 (they've since raised several rounds and are at 135+ employees).
When coding, my goal is to implement and hand off compliant and pixel-perfect templates for engineers to flesh out with backend functionality. When designing, my tools of choice are Photoshop and Invision. When recruiting, I spend time vetting engineers, conducting initial phone screens and in-house interviews—I then manage many of these new hires. As a tech lead, I focused on delivering features for our consumer facing web application, working closely with product managers and various stakeholders across the company. Now, I focus primarily on managing a team of fullstack engineers.
Fun. I enjoy interior design, and am obsessed with figuring out how to make small spaces beautiful and functional. I have perfected the art of home-made waffles and I'm a big fan of Bea Arthur ice cream cone from Big Gay Ice Cream Shop. But my favorite way to spend time is to relax and cuddle with my clingy cat Toby and my hyperactive dog Butters while binge watching TV shows with Ian. I've tried my hand at gardening but I'm not quite there yet—my ferns have seen better days. I dislike the entire winter and summer seasons, waking up early, and IPAs.
I studied music performance at Carnegie Mellon University, then took up wood working, began a Masters in Design + Technology at Parsons, and now I lead and manage full-stack engineers. I keep busy and I get things done. Check out my resume to learn more about what I do.
