What I'm looking for

I seek senior engineering leadership roles where I can drive cloud and AI modernization, build trust-based teams, align tech with product/GTM, and deliver measurable revenue and operational impact.

I am a transformational engineering executive with 20+ years building high-performance teams and delivering customer-focused innovation that produced $40M+ in business value.

I have led full-stack, full-lifecycle platform modernizations from monolith to SaaS, achieving outcomes such as $9M+ ARR growth, 99.999% on-time delivery, and $16M+ in cost savings through architectural optimization.

I build and scale global engineering organizations, growing teams from small foundations to 30+ engineers with 90%+ retention, mentoring engineers to certifications and internal promotions while improving velocity and reducing incidents via DORA metrics.

I partner with executives, product, GTM, and customers to align technology strategy, adopt AI (Generative AI, RAG, Gemini 2.5 Flash), and deliver measurable operational impact—improving CSAT, reducing churn, and enabling new revenue streams.
