👋 Hi, I’m Jess!
Work. The future is full of opportunities, so I devise ways to build software in order to impact people’s lives in a meaningful way as a technical leader. Throughout my career, I have had the privilege to lead a breadth of individual contributors and people managers. I take pride in my ability to zoom-out to strategize from a macro lens (technological roadmap, human collaboration) while also zooming-in depth to understand people’s motivations and the intricate details of the software implementation and systems architecture. I constantly strive do meaningful work in environments where people feel safe to explore, fail, and learn.
I have applied my expertise in: internet-scale platforms, e-commerce, public transportation services, and financial systems.
My areas of interest include: natural language processing, machine learning, distributed systems, DevOps, cloud computing, culture, intersectionality and egalitarianism.
Free Time. I enjoy storytelling, cooking, producing music, traveling, and being physically active. Continuous growth and learning is an integral part of my personal values.
Thoughtlot. I started this site to improve my writing, a place to store and organize my trails of thoughts, rants and ramblings. Words are my own, as are my views.
