Where do I see myself in the next 25 years? What's my audacious goal? Currently our economy is run by financial returns, which ultimately incentivizes short term ROI over long term social impact that is just as profitable if not more. My goal is to be one of the many technologists of the future investing in well designed problems, solutions, and teams that believe in bold long term endeavours. Because currently I believe there aren't enough technologists making long term bold bets of the future. What I do? I am a creative technologist that cross-functionally aligns relatively small teams to discover, design, develop, deliver, and sustain value from large, complex challenges for specific markets and customers. How I do it? I do this with product management practices and frameworks, along with lean and agile methodologies, and my technical skills and mindset which helps me identify opportunities 5-10 years out and start thinking about how to intercept it's unstoppable market force. Why I do it? My purpose is to reinvent, so that we're inspired to build a future using what we already have to transform and achieve what we believe to be impossible.
