What I'm looking for

I seek senior leadership roles driving cloud modernization, DevSecOps, and platform engineering at organizations valuing measurable outcomes, automation, and collaborative cross-functional teams.

I am a strategic technology leader with 13+ years of progressive experience and over four years in senior leadership, focused on digital engineering, cloud modernization, and DevSecOps transformation across enterprise environments.

I have led migration of mission-critical platforms to Azure, implemented secure scalable architectures using AKS, Azure Functions, Service Bus, and Event Grid, and established CI/CD pipelines and security-by-design practices that reduced deployment times by ~40%.

I have a strong track record in vendor and partner management, portfolio planning, and driving automation initiatives that cut operational costs and improved code quality metrics by ~30%.

I mentor and scale distributed engineering teams, collaborate with product and executive stakeholders, and align technology execution with business goals to deliver measurable outcomes and improved audit compliance.
