About

With over 15 years in the tech industry, leading engineering teams and shaping technology strategy is what drives me at Stride. My goal is to build groundbreaking HR solutions that resonate with our mission of simplifying human resources processes. By fostering a high-performance culture and constructing core engineering processes, I am committed to aligning our technology with user-centric needs, thereby enhancing Stride's impact in the market. Since joining Stride in February 2024, I've built the engineering department from scratch, establishing a team that thrives on collaboration and innovation. Our work is focused on developing Stride HR, a seed-stage product that demands hands-on engagement with customers and a deep understanding of domain and technology. By partnering closely with the CEO and cross-functional teams, we've crafted a technology strategy that prioritizes quality and efficiency, positioning us at the forefront of HR tech solutions.
