Experience

1. Global Enterprise Account Manager

   Sonar

   Jan 2021 — Present · Austin, TX, US

   My role is to help our top-tier enterprise clients minimize bugs, resolve security vulnerabilities, and manage technical debt by utilizing and growing the adoption of SonarQube within their CI/CD pipelines. Why? On average, developers spend 17 hours per week maintaining and fixing bad code. Discovering and mitigating issues as far left in the development process as possible creates significant time and financial savings. SonarQube provides a lens to source code health at all levels in an organization, from developer to executive management. The Clean As You Code methodology promotes developers to take control of the code that is being committed to the pipeline. SonarQube ensures visibility and actionable feedback in the IDE and during the build to diminish security vulnerabilities, bugs, and technical debt in source code, the backbone of a software product.
