Experienced across all phases of the software development lifecycle

Experience gathering requirements, prioritizing delivery work, and communicating status to stakeholders

Spends roughly 90% of time on hands-on implementation while guiding 2–6 engineers via review, conventions, and pairing; owns releases end-to-end

Experience providing technical direction and leadership to less experienced staff
