About Me

I live in Manhattan with my son, husband, and dog. I got my start in accounting and later transitioned into a second career in technology as an automation tester and engineering leader. You can read the full story of my career transition in my blog post.

Currently, I am Director of Engineering at Healthie, where I was recently promoted from Engineering Manager. I lead a distributed team across the US and South America, and I've grown from leading our quality engineering efforts into helping shape technical and delivery decisions across our product and platform teams. Lately I've been focused on reliability and developer productivity—de-risking our AWS ECS migration, improving observability during incidents, and scaling our build success rates from 10% to 90% by eliminating test flakiness. We've heavily integrated AI into our daily workflows as a productivity accelerator rather than a crutch, and one of the most rewarding parts of the job is mentoring engineers as they grow toward senior roles and engineering management.

Previously, I spent several years heading up the technical test team at Better.com. My focus there was to scale test automation while maintaining high developer velocity. Over time, I expanded my scope to build their formal Site Reliability Engineering (SRE) practice and manage their Product Support operations. Managing these three teams was a fast-paced, challenging, and deeply rewarding experience that shaped my philosophy on quality and reliability.

In my spare time, I am an avid reader of both fiction and non-fiction. I love diving into new technical topics, building projects, and spending time with my son (who is currently obsessed with Minecraft). Outside of tech, I enjoy cycling around the city and skiing.
