What I'm looking for

I'm targeting a Director, Engineering role, where I can lead multi-geo engineering organizations and advance AI-augmented, agentic software delivery.

At Dell Technologies, I scaled a multi-geo engineering organization to 55+ across India, Ireland, and the US, building a management layer as the organization grew. I partnered with executive leadership and Product Management on roadmaps, resourcing, and technical governance.

I drove adoption of AI-augmented engineering practices, including Windsurf-based AI IDEs and OpenSpec/Speckit-driven Spec-Driven Development. These changes cut feature release cycle time by 68% and rework by about 90%.

I directed delivery of platforms including DCM, which reached 99.99% availability across 140K+ active connections and is projected to save about $5M per year in support and services costs. Earlier at Dell, I architected infrastructure automation for Dell PowerONE and built an integration SDK that cut plugin development cycle time by about 60%.
