Engineering leader specializing in data platforms, delivery strategy, and cross-functional team scaling.

Message

I am an engineering leader with 9+ years of enablement experience across data, software, DevOps, and QA, focused on building reliable data platforms and analytics enablement.

At CELUS I owned people management, team structure, and delivery strategy while leading teams of 5–13 engineers and improving data reliability for internal reporting and customer integrations.

I have a track record of building teams and processes — including creating a QA team that reduced post-release defects ~80%, doubling release cadence, and delivering large-scale international integration projects.

I prioritize strategy-oriented collaboration with data and backend engineers, clear ownership, and metrics-driven decision making to reduce reactive work and scale delivery across international initiatives.
