I am a Web Engineer turned VP of Engineering. I have proven experience helping start-ups launch and get their MVP to market. At my heart im still a coder and am always an active contributor to development cycles on top of my management responsibilities. I pride myself in knowing that I am not the best engineer out there or that my way is not always the right way, but I can identify exceptional engineers and exceptional ways of doing things. I studied at Virginia Tech and have a multi-disciplinary degree in Computer Science, Business Leadership and Russian (but Ill always speak java/js/php/python better than Russian!)
