Engineering leader at Red Hat who guided a 39-person organization and advanced AI workflows across GCC and glibc.

At Red Hat, I lead a 39-person engineering organization across GCC, LLVM, Rust, Go, and C/C++ libraries, directing two Engineering Managers. My teams advanced compiler optimization and runtime stability.

I orchestrated cross-functional delivery of C, C++, and GCC FuSa certification, helping Red Hat In-Vehicle OS (RHIVOS) achieve ISO 26262 ASIL-B compliance. I also directed upstream AI policies for GCC/glibc and led teams creating agentic skills for development workflows.

As Principal Program Manager for Red Hat Application Services (Middleware), I led distributed teams launching Kafka, Debezium, and Service Registry. I also helped consolidate boutique teams into an integrated Messaging (AMQ) program team.

Earlier, at SAPIENT CORPORATION, I directed a 20-member global team delivering enterprise data marts and ETL streams. At APC by SCHNEIDER ELECTRIC, I progressed from firmware, QA, and technical support engineering to program management, designing and debugging RTOS networking firmware and building automated test suites with Perl and Ruby.
