Product leader at AWS launching an AI Ops platform and Energy Data Insights for Oil and Gas.

United States
Message

At Amazon Web Services (AWS), I’m building a next-generation AI Ops platform to accelerate quality, efficiency, and growth for AWS Partners in managed and support services. I also launched Energy Data Insights on AWS to make subsurface geological data more accessible to the Oil and Gas industry.

Before that, I built and delivered outcome-based AWS Support services, including Partner-Led Support and an engineering service for automatically enrolling new AWS accounts in AWS Support. I worked across AWS teams and with software vendors to improve support and service delivery.

At General Motors, I led the Velocity Mode upgrade for Cadillac Lyriq AWD from concept to launch readiness. Earlier, I worked on vehicle performance products delivered through over-the-air updates, as well as lighting and infotainment choreography for GMC Hummer EV and Cadillac Lyriq.

My earlier work spans electric all-wheel drive, hybrid hydraulic transmissions, powertrain controls, and fuel systems. I’ve contributed to products and projects at Parker Hannifin, KPIT, Navistar Inc., and Caterpillar Inc., including fuel-system work supporting Tier IV emissions regulations.
