While I continue to get my hands dirty as a software engineer, recent years have shown that I am equally valuable in situations where I can use my experience to increase craftmanship, productivity and wellbeing in those around me. In roles such as Engineering Chapter Lead and Chief Information Officer, I obtained more real-world experience in leadership, project/people management, technical coaching, empowerment, and auditing and improving processes. Everyone benefits from employees that find joy in their work, so one of my goals is always to create the right environment for that. This usually includes both technical and non-technical involvement.
