About
Engineering Leadership at Scale
A technology leader who bridges the gap between business strategy and engineering excellence.
Engineering leader with 15+ years building and scaling web platforms, cloud infrastructure, and engineering teams — progressing from individual contributor to VP of Technology at the same organization. I translate business strategy into technical roadmaps, stand up multi-tenant SaaS architecture, and lead cross-functional engineering teams across AWS, Azure, and GCP.
I'm equally comfortable at the architecture whiteboard and the executive table — partnering with CEOs and cross-functional leadership while staying close to system design, delivery, and performance. My expertise in cloud infrastructure, server management, and performance optimization allows me to manage complex projects efficiently while ensuring reliable, high-quality results.
