Top SchoolKattia Chaves is a Principal Software Engineering Manager with over a decade of experience leading embedded and systems software teams at HPE and Microsoft. She began as a hands-on C/C++ and Python developer for wireless and wired devices and evolved into a dual-focused leader who blends technical architecture reviews with people-first management. For six years she has coached engineers through career development, motivation, and skills growth while driving project delivery with transparent risk management and milestone-driven planning. Comfortable diving into technical details, she challenges designs and estimates to reduce risk and ensure predictable outcomes. Passionate about building inclusive, low-cost engagement initiatives that strengthen team cohesion, she seeks fully remote, asynchronous roles while remaining open to occasional in-office collaboration. Based in Costa Rica, Kattia brings pragmatic engineering judgment, strong stakeholder communication, and a rare combination of embedded systems pedigree and proven people leadership.
