I build AI-native developer platforms and scale engineering organizations around measurable business outcomes.

At Fidelity Investments, I lead enterprise operations product strategy and observability-first replatforming for a 35M+ daily-transaction event management platform. I improved signal fidelity by 40%+, reduced MTTR by 35%, and led GitHub Copilot adoption that increased engineering capacity by 16%.

Previously at CBRE, I owned a $9M technology roadmap for a global PropTech platform serving 50,000+ professionals in 30+ countries. I reorganized a 90-person engineering organization into product squads and modernized a monolith into event-driven microservices on AWS, Azure, and Kubernetes, reducing deployment cycle time by 60%.

I've also led agile transformation and a greenfield billing platform at Progyny, scaled WeWork's core platform engineering team from 3 to 35 engineers, and built developer tooling that made cloud environments available in under five minutes.

As Tentrr's co-founder and VP of Engineering, I built a full-stack outdoor hospitality marketplace spanning booking, payments, and host management. Across financial services, PropTech, SaaS, and HealthTech, I translate ambiguous business challenges into focused platform and engineering strategies.
