Transformations
delivering results at scale
As Global Software Engineering Director, led a distributed worldwide team of over 50 engineers to achieve a 10-fold increase in throughput within just one year. Defects reduced by 5X, cycle times cut dramatically, and the team helped launching a $100M+ annual product on-time that had previously been delayed for 1.5 years.
Built an inclusive, self-organizing team with exceptionally low turnover — U.S. annualized at just 1.8% since 2022. In India, two engineers who had left actually asked to return because of the positive environment. Achieved by adopting best-in-class practices, turning SW Testers into Developers, fostering ownership and self-service, and introducing modern tools and workflows.
Successfully lobbied from VP to C-suite levels to fix a flawed software architecture strategy, unlocking 2X to 4X productivity for half of the company's software teams. Built Deerepedia, a massive knowledge platform that became the largest at John Deere, slashing knowledge retrieval time by 50%+ for 10,000 users.
Helped initiate the Agile Transformation across 400,000 employees, pioneered Git in 2009 (well before it was mainstream), and slashed build times by up to 16X through an innovative incremental parallel build system.
"I've been writing software professionally since 1984. And I've never before witnessed firsthand such an amazing software development team transformation. A transformation where teammates are now enthusiastic and engaged. A transformation where teammates are now eager to start the workday. A transformation where teammates are now communicating and are happy and productive."
