I'm a synthesizer. This involves gathering information from a variety of sources and assessing it given a particular current context. Once complete, we can define and communicate a desired end state as well as a set of concrete steps to achieve it. Finally, we can set off implementing this plan with an expectation to refine it incrementally as we continually learn more about our context and choices.
In my career, I've developed parts of products accessed directly by end users, core libraries and services used by other developers to create their products, and layers including continuous integration, delivery, and networking infrastructure.
I'm currently working as a Senior Manager of Software Development at Appian. Our team provides the infrastructure, libraries, and services used by a 500+ person engineering department to run the continuous integration portion of its SDLC.
