About

On the record

Professional shepherd for software with over 9+ years of experience with a focus on rapid release of mobile iOS and Android apps and Software releases on Firmware devices. Currently, I manage Client Platform Releases at Snapchat. Previous to this, I was driving salesforce and app releases at Cydcor, and prior to that, I ran Bi-Weekly release trains and deployments at ACT and Norton Lifelock. I'm responsible for using high judgment in tracking issues, communicating schedules, working closely with distribution partners, and coordinating daily with QA/Engineering and PMs to ship high-quality Software releases on Firmware devices and mobile apps consistently and reliably, at scale. Prior to release management, I was a Build & Release Engineer/ Release Management at Norton LifeLock, working on tools & automation for Code deployment. Where I bring value to organizations: • I am a big-picture thinker, adept at communicating the where, how, and why, with a rigorous focus on what it takes to turn vision into reality. • I thrive in collaborative team environments and build strong cross-functional relationships. • I navigate complex processes and challenges, overcoming obstacles and removing blockers to innovation. • I am fluent in the languages of a technology-driven business and clearly communicate product value to stakeholders and users across functional areas. • I put the customer at the center of everything we do. • I don’t just adapt to change; I embrace change and thrive on learning new ways to work and solve problems.
