What I'm looking for

I’m looking to lead technical teams through high-impact transformations—owning strategy, performance coaching, and resilient delivery while translating engineering complexity into measurable business outcomes.

I’m an engineering manager and technical leader who drives high-impact technology transformations through team leadership, technical strategy, and cross-functional collaboration. I translate complex technical challenges into business outcomes by guiding strategic resource allocation, establishing engineering standards, and ensuring engineering excellence.

I’ve led and coached teams through the full performance lifecycle (including hiring, onboarding, 1:1s, formal evaluations, and PIP-to-retention outcomes), delivering measurable results like 43% performance improvements and $50,600+ in annual cost savings through cloud optimization. Most recently, I’ve been designing and launching product platforms and open-sourcing real-time systems, while architecting multi-agent AI workflows for testing, code review, and development—maintaining team velocity even while managing concurrent client engagements.
