What I'm looking for

I’m looking to lead engineering and digital transformation for SaaS and digital platforms, scaling teams and cloud infrastructure while applying AI-driven development to deliver secure, enterprise-grade growth.

I’m a transformational technology executive with 15+ years leading engineering organizations, digital platforms, and technology strategy across enterprise, mid-market, and high-growth startup environments. I scale engineering teams from the ground up and deliver digital transformation at $10M+ budget scale, building platforms that serve millions of users.

In my current roles, I lead SaaS technology organizations end-to-end—from architecture through delivery—while translating business objectives into multi-quarter technology roadmaps. I drive modernization through cloud architectures, AI-driven development, and CI/CD practices to improve engineering quality, reduce deployment risk, and accelerate feature delivery cadence.

Previously, I owned digital technology strategy with full budget responsibility exceeding $10M annually at a Fortune 100 insurer, scaling teams from 15 to 70 professionals and cutting implementation cycle time by 60%. As CTO, I built and migrated large-scale platforms, including a SaaS registry ecosystem supporting 1M+ monthly active users with 99.99% uptime, plus AWS cloud migrations completed with zero downtime.
