What I'm looking for

I seek senior leadership roles where I can lead cloud migrations, build AI-enabled products, scale engineering teams, and drive measurable business impact in collaborative, innovation-driven cultures.

I am a cloud and AI-focused technology leader with extensive experience directing global engineering teams, scaling architectures, and delivering SaaS products. I have led large cloud migrations and GenAI initiatives, driving $20M in revenue impact and $1M in operational savings through modernizations and optimizations.

My hands-on approach spans microservices, event-driven systems, and high-throughput platforms (1,000+ TPS), while building and mentoring teams (10–90+ engineers) across US, Europe and APAC. I combine strategic stakeholder engagement with technical execution to deliver zero-downtime architectures, observability, and cost-optimized cloud solutions.
