What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that allows me to leverage my extensive experience in technology leadership, focusing on strategic initiatives that drive growth and innovation while fostering a collaborative team environment.

I am a strategic technology leader with over 15 years of experience directing multi-site engineering, cloud operations, and cybersecurity programs for organizations ranging from growth-stage companies to Fortune 1000 enterprises. My expertise lies in managing substantial operating budgets, leading technology teams, and overseeing mission-critical platforms that process over 80 million daily transactions. I have a proven track record of fostering collaboration within teams, accelerating project delivery, and aligning IT roadmaps with C-suite priorities.

In my most recent role as Director of Engineering at Inxeption, I successfully directed cross-functional teams in building a comprehensive logistics SaaS suite. I implemented a JIRA-based SDLC that significantly improved our story cycle time and on-time release rate. Previously, as President of IT Solutions & Operations at Interapt, I oversaw multiple divisions and scaled a Business Process Outsourcing center to support a major healthcare client during the COVID-19 pandemic, generating over $3 million in new revenue. My career has been marked by a commitment to IT service management, vendor negotiation, and team mentorship.
