What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that fosters innovation and offers growth opportunities.

I am a results-driven Software Engineering Manager with over 20 years of experience leading high-performance engineering teams at top-tier companies. My expertise lies in driving complex technical strategies, delivering scalable systems, and building machine learning and data platforms that have a direct business impact. I am known for fostering innovation, retaining top talent, and solving ambiguous technical problems in high-stakes environments.

At Amazon, I led platform development for multiple teams, managing a $20M budget to deliver machine learning and analytics infrastructure. My leadership resulted in significant improvements, including a 20.2% reduction in latency for an online product relationship service and a 50% cut in model training time for machine learning models. I have a proven track record of architecting scalable micro-services architectures and enhancing system reliability, which has led to substantial operational cost reductions and improved productivity across teams.

Throughout my career, I have successfully built and managed diverse teams, promoting engineers to managerial positions and fostering their growth into senior roles. My commitment to operational excellence and engineering leadership has consistently driven success in delivering high-quality solutions that enhance customer experiences and generate significant revenue.
