What I'm looking for

I seek senior leadership roles where I can drive large-scale HPC/AI infrastructure strategy, deliver cost-efficient cloud and GPU operations, mentor engineering leaders, and align technical roadmaps with business outcomes.

I am a results-driven technology executive and engineering leader with over a decade of experience in High-Performance Computing (HPC), AI infrastructure, and large-scale distributed systems. I translate complex scientific research and bleeding-edge technology into scalable, production-grade business platforms.

I have led and transformed large engineering organizations, architected global cloud-native AI/ML platforms, and driven multi-million-dollar FinOps initiatives that delivered significant capital efficiency. I established ModelOps governance and standardized observability and SRE practices to improve platform stability and compliance.

In recent roles I directed the build-out of unified HPC/AI compute ecosystems, delivering 35–50% improvements in throughput and securing over $5.5M in annualized compute and operational savings via profiling, rightsizing, modernization, and decommissioning programs. I also accelerated GPU training and inference pipelines by up to 3.2x through low-level compute and network investments.

I mentor senior engineering leaders, chair architecture reviews, and partner with product and executive stakeholders to align multi-quarter strategic programs. I am committed to defining and executing technology visions that deliver measurable business value and long-term efficiency.
