What I'm looking for

I seek senior technical roles leading cloud migrations and platform engineering teams, emphasizing continuous delivery, mentorship, and measurable business impact.

I am a senior software engineer and technical lead with extensive experience delivering platform solutions using continuous delivery, agile methodologies, and lean product development. I have led teams across news media, banking, retail, and government sectors to design and implement resilient systems using Java, Python, cloud platforms, and infrastructure-as-code.

I have implemented event-driven architectures, CQRS, and domain-driven design, led migrations to GCP and Azure, and built AI-enabled valuation tooling that reduced delivery time from months to weeks. I also mentor engineers, managed direct reports, and co-founded employee resource groups supporting underrepresented communities.
