Paul Vilchez

About Me

I am an engineering facilitator - that is, my job is to help a company's engineering organization perform at their best.

I do this by fostering a high trust environment amongst team members - underpinned by good communication - empowering engineers to take risks and grow.

I care about developing high-performance humans, and I'm really proud that folks trust me enough to reach out for professional or career guidance even long after we've worked together.
