About me

Who am I?

I am originally from Mexico, have a small child and wife at home which is Cary,NC

Some things I like:

• reading (this is what I am currently reading))
• running, I ran a few marathons a few years ago, these days I go out a couple of times a week.
• my small kid, even when she cries

Some things I've done:

• you can check out my linkedin profile

What can you expect from me?

I have found that people are successful when they support each other, I am a manager who is here to unblock you and help you succeed and collaborate, open the door, and sometimes gently push you into the door

My role is:

• Unblock you and Trust you to do your job
• Provide you with a safe environment to grow
• Give you timely feedback, both positive and constructive
• Provide the resources you need to do your job
• Challenge you in ways that will help you grow
• Champion your accomplishments and echo it to anyone who will listen
• Provide a safe environment for you to tell me what can I do better

My role is not to:

• Do your job for you
• Shield you from constructive feedback
• Enable destructive behaviors

What do I expect from my team?

• Practice Kindness: We succeed as a team. Helping others with designs, code reviews, unblocking, load balancing, etc. is important.
  • Grow everyone to be independent. Don't be a blocker on other people's work. Your impact is multiplied by helping others succeed.
  • The people in our team, organization, and company are more important than any date or deliverable.
• Global Product, Global Team: Everyone should feel included, valued, and comfortable being their authentic selves on the team. We are a distributed team and practice remote first. We strive to include everyone's communication and work preferences
• Growth mindset: Be willing to experiment and change, make mistakes and learn.
• Ship to Learn: Find the right balance between asking for help and doing things yourself. Don’t waste your time when someone can unblock you quickly.
• Trust by Default: Trust is given, not earned. By the customs of the rest of the world, we overtrust each other, and we are comfortable with that.

What do I expect from myself?

• Is my team the best it can be?
• Am I doing the best I can do?
• Are we shipping a great product?
• Am I unblocking my team?
• What is falling through the cracks?
