Hello! I’m based in San Francisco and have been leading engineering teams for about 15 years now. I’m currently the VP of Engineering for PagerDuty, where I'm responsible for all engineering functions. Prior to that, I was VP of Engineering for Shared Services/Infrastructure for Zendesk. I’ve been here for about 6 years. Before Zendesk, I was VP of Engineering at a small startup called PowerReviews, which I helped start with 3 others.
