Engineering Manager — 20 years building web products, 10+ years leading teams. Currently leading the Team Admin Center at Zapier, shipping enterprise-grade user management and automation safety tools.
I design and develop web applications and have been for over 20 years with over 10 years management experience. I love JS and the open web stack. I have led teams of designers, FE and BE developers in building products that support over 130 languages and millions of users.
Outside of work I love my wife, my four kids, and being an Italian American dual citizen. I run and bike.
