About Patrick Shields
I\'m a problem solver who guides teams and organizations through complex technical and product decisions. I mentor individuals and build strong autonomous teams that exceed expectations. I pursue effectiveness and efficiency of motion by looking for the small changes that make impossible problems achievable. I can construct and pursue company-wide initiatives and then fix your broken build.I’m passionate about giving the people around me the tools and context they need to succeed. That can mean warning an engineering team about a treacherous path I’ve been down before, giving empathetic and honest feedback, or framing complex and ambiguous issues in ways that empower an audience. I have experience working across organizations horizontally and vertically and am comfortable collborating in any room.Pronouns: he/him
