You have a track record of improving team velocity and delivery quality through systematic identification and resolution of bottlenecks
You excel at developing others, with experience coaching engineers at various skill levels and helping them grow their technical and professional capabilities
You communicate with clarity and empathy, adapting your style to your audience and building trust across diverse stakeholders
You demonstrate sound judgment in balancing tradeoffs between scope, quality, speed, and long-term technical health
