Technical Product Owner scaling AI-enabled Azure platforms, blending data engineering, governance, and agile delivery to ship faster.
What I'm looking for
I’m a Technical Product Owner who scales technical teams and modernizes complex enterprise systems into governed, AI-enabled cloud environments. As the first technical hire at a $7B global manufacturing company, I grew a cross-functional technical team from 0 to 14 FTEs and 25 contractors while leading technical rationalization after acquisitions.
I designed and executed a 9-stage Agile roadmap to migrate 5 disparate legacy systems into a unified Azure cloud ecosystem. I drove secure data foundations with Azure Data Factory, Databricks, and Azure Fabric, replaced manual reporting with SQL/SSRS/Power BI dashboards, and reduced user onboarding setup time by 60% with workflow integration via Power Automate.
I also focus on intelligent automation and audit-ready delivery. I engineered Python-based NLP and OCR (IDP) solutions to automate ingestion of unstructured documents and integrated validated outputs directly into the core financial ledger via SSIS, while enabling AI/ML workflows in Jira to detect pricing anomalies and protect revenue during major M&A transitions.
Previously, I owned healthcare payer platforms where I integrated Computer Vision into clinical decision workflows—reducing preliminary radiologist review time by 40%—and led intake-to-billing integration using REST APIs (Postman) while ensuring secure PHI transmission. Across both industries, I’m driven by responsible AI, strict data governance, and measurable delivery outcomes from discovery through release.
