What I'm looking for

I seek senior technology leadership roles driving AI, cloud, and product architecture—opportunities to build teams, set strategy, and deliver scalable, governance-driven solutions.

I am an accomplished engineering leader with 18 years of experience in financial services and technology, focused on scaling engineering teams, driving AI and cloud strategy, and delivering enterprise product architectures. I have led global initiatives across Goldman Sachs, JP Morgan, and multiple startups, building high-performance teams and establishing centers of excellence in cloud, ML/GenAI, and blockchain.

My strengths include designing organization-wide architecture frameworks, executing multi-year automation roadmaps, and integrating large-scale cloud and data solutions (AWS, GCP, data lakes, Snowflake) with external SaaS systems. I have a proven track record delivering regulatory, pricing, and automation programs while collaborating with senior stakeholders to align technical strategy with business goals.

I bring hands-on technical expertise in Java, microservices, modern UI frameworks, containers, and GenAI tooling, and I focus on responsible AI practices, governance, and cost-effective model evaluation. I am motivated to drive transformational programs that enhance scalability, agility, and measurable business impact.
