What I'm looking for

I’m looking to lead release management and continuous delivery for global cloud products, partnering with engineering, QA, security, and operations to ship no-downtime deployments and keep uptime consistently high.

I run release management and end-to-end deployments for Aria Systems’ global multi-tenant cloud billing system, leading DevOps/Scrum/release management teams through development-to-production. I’ve directed migrations from on-prem SaaS to AWS, Azure, and OCI while keeping client-facing releases at 100% uptime.

I built LiveRelease™, a continuous-delivery technology designed for no-downtime releases and hotfixes to UAT and Production. I coordinate release scheduling across engineering, QA, security, operations, and change management, leading release readiness and Go/No-Go reviews via CAB.

Before that, I led QA teams at Aria Systems and managed quality processes that supported international subscription billing across multiple data centers. Earlier roles included QA and release management work at MedRisk, and SAP America presales and sales support to help drive adoption of SAP HANA.
