As an engineering manager, I led a large team of architects to support ESPN’s broadcasting systems revolving around ad sales, programming, commercial operations, production operations, finance, and accounting. I managed several multi-role teams that delivered ESPN’s first electronic broadcast log, dynamic content

scheduling system, powerful contract negotiation scenario planner, and many other applications that saved

company resources and improved business capabilities. Designed and developed multiple applications including user requisitioning system, enterprise employee service. Lead a team, including 2 direct reports to develop an equipment requisition system and an employee training tool. Led a support team, including 2 direct reports for 50 plus applications.

As a technical manager, I managed direct reports to maintain enterprise-wide applications that I developed as a senior developer. These applications centralized employee data at ESPN and became the authoritative source of data that was used for many applications including company-wide authentication.

As a lead, I helped design applications and implement Agile XP, dual programming, and test-driven

development to develop a comprehensive and powerful trading application while sitting on the trading floor. As a Developer, I worked on the FASB133 Hedge Management system for debt derivative valuation and cash flow analysis to enable financial analysts and the trading desk to evaluate trades.
