Hello
I'm Tamara (rhymes with 'camera'). My friends call me Tam. And wearing hats is a whole vibe!
My Story
My tech career began in financial services in 2001. From my early days as a junior business analyst to today, as a small business owner, speaker and community leader, I have been motivated to do and be more. My favorite quote by humorist Erma Bombeck sums it up well.
​
"When I stand before God at the end of my life, I would hope that I would not have a single bit of talent left and could say, 'I used everything you gave me.'"
Today, I help motivated tech and tech-adjacent professionals master their craft with empathy and humanity in the age of AI.
​
Whether speaking on stage or guiding product development, I bring people into alignment around shared goals and common sense. I’ve spent 25 years navigating software development projects, business analysis, and team dynamics. Today, I speak and teach about how we can work better together through building relationships thoughtfully and developing one's craft. I help people and teams examine how they show up for themselves and each other so that together they can do their best work.
​​
I believe that the best outcomes spring from embracing our humanity in nurturing cohesive, effective teams. We become high-functioning through thoughtful relationship building, continuous learning, and challenging everything—what we build, why we build it, and how we build together.
