As a manager - I aim to lift people up. I get the greatest satisfaction when I can help people grow as engineers. I strive to create a team culture that is open and collaborative. And of course, do all of this with a constant eye to company goals and project execution. As an engineer - I believe strongly in pragmatism and thoughtfulness. I like to think through the trade offs between fast paced execution and carefully considered, future thinking code. In general I believe that building with best practices (and lots documentation) and building for scale will save time and headaches in the long run, but there is always a limit.
