What I'm looking for

I'm looking to lead architecture and delivery for cloud-native, data-intensive systems, turning ambiguous problems into scalable production platforms while improving reliability, performance, and engineering effectiveness.

I've led architecture for Rackspace, Cambia Health Solutions, and NWEA, building cloud-native platforms and backend systems that support millions of users and billions of daily events. At Rackspace, I architected high-cardinality metrics and telemetry for an email platform processing 4 billion emails per day.

At NWEA, I built two generations of a K–12 assessment platform serving 50 million students and 3 million educators, including systems handling 2 million transactions per minute with 99.9% availability. I translate ambiguous requirements into production architecture, improve performance and reliability through evidence-driven engineering, and mentor teams in scalable systems and technical decision-making.
