Who You Are

You are an experienced and motivated software engineering manager. You no longer develop software – or maybe you do – but you now leave the coding to AI so you can focus fully at the system level. You have worked across all aspects of the SDLC and are now in management because of your natural tendencies to think big, solve hard problems and help others do the same, whether they are on your team or in another department. You enjoy mentoring others both on- and off-shore, follow the rules while also questioning them, and are driven at a core level to want to make everything around you better. Most importantly, you are organized and can effectively lead a team, in a complex and quickly changing environment, to get things done-done and delivered.
