United StatesWhat I'm looking for
I’m an Engineering Executive with 23+ years of experience architecting and scaling mission-critical platforms for Fortune 50 enterprises, including Amazon (AWS), Microsoft, and Goldman Sachs. I’ve led global engineering organizations of 120+ engineers, owned multi-billion dollar P&L roadmaps, and consistently delivered 99.99% availability for systems processing 100T+ messages/month.
At AWS, I lead Managed Streaming for Apache Kafka (MSK) as a global managed cloud platform for Fortune 500 customers. I modernized the service from a monolithic codebase into 15+ modular microservices, introduced tiered storage with intelligent S3 offloading, and implemented API-driven provisioning with CI/CD modernization—improving deployment velocity 4× and cutting provisioning time by 40%.
I also focus on AI/ML and GenAI platform delivery—building production-grade RAG-based intelligence, LLM-driven layers, and ML platforms that reduced MTTR from 10 days to ~1 day. Across my career, I’ve transformed legacy monoliths into event-driven cloud ecosystems while strengthening operational excellence through automated remediation, predictive analytics, security guardrails, and governance models aligned to GDPR and PII safety.
