// Startup Ecosystem
Enterprise engineering gave me depth. Startups gave me range.
Even while deeply committed to DellEMC, there was always a part of me that needed to stay close to the frontier — to keep building, to keep learning what was coming next. I chose opportunities that complemented my enterprise work without conflicting with it: part-time roles and parallel commitments that kept me sharp and connected to the startup world I'd grown up in.
