Intro

As an engineering leader and frequent conference speaker, I specialize in AI technologies, API development, and ML Ops. With a track record of delivering innovative solutions and leading high-performing teams, I've spoken at 8 tech conferences, sharing insights on the intersection of AI and API development.

Based in Houston, Texas. I'm a passionate technologist and space enthusiast. When I'm not leading engineering initiatives or speaking at conferences, you'll find me exploring various interests including motorcycles, flying drones, reading, hiking, mountain biking, playing guitar and piano, gaming, and cooking.

Work

Currently a Senior Developer Advocate at Postman, where I previously served as Engineering Manager in Labs, the R&D arm of the company. I've driven several key initiatives from conception to launch, including GA releases of Postbot (Postman's AI Assistant), Postman Flows, gRPC, and GraphQL.

My approach combines strategic leadership with hands-on technical expertise. I work closely with Product and Design to create and execute OKRs, coordinate complex initiatives across teams, and ensure transparent documentation of our work. I've led the AI initiative in Labs, conducting comprehensive research to guide our organizational readiness for AI integration.

Core competencies include:

  • Engineering Leadership & Team Building
  • AI/ML Strategy and Implementation
  • API Development and Architecture
  • Cross-functional Team Coordination
  • Technical Public Speaking
