What I'm looking for

I seek roles where I can lead cross-functional engineering teams, improve delivery predictability, partner with executives, and scale healthy high-performance organizations.

I am an engineering and program leader with 14+ years of experience across software development, agile delivery, and organizational leadership. I have led 80+ engineer organizations through hyper-growth, implemented scalable execution frameworks (OKRs, delivery checkpoints), and partnered with executives to translate strategy into reliable, measurable delivery.

My hands-on technical background includes decision-level fluency in .NET and cloud systems, and I combine that with strong ownership of delivery accountability, team health, and operational outcomes. I have driven cost savings, launched high-impact products, and maintained team engagement while scaling rapidly.
