What I'm looking for

I'm seeking Principal Technical Program Manager or Engineering Program Leadership opportunities leading large-scale semiconductor, AI, cloud, networking, aerospace, and intelligent-systems programs where deep technology meets business strategy.

At Synopsys, I lead concurrent LPDDR5X and LPDDR6 PHY IP programs for Tier-1 semiconductor companies across advanced 3nm–5nm technologies. I coordinate global engineering teams from architecture through tape-out, customer integration, and silicon bring-up, achieving 95% on-time delivery with strong quality compliance.

Over 20+ years, I’ve delivered multidisciplinary programs spanning semiconductor IP, AI-enabled systems, telecommunications, IoT, wireless infrastructure, consumer electronics, and mission-critical platforms. I translate strategy into execution across silicon, hardware, firmware, software, systems engineering, manufacturing, supply chain, quality, and product management.

I’ve managed portfolios of 5–10 concurrent programs, organizations of up to 50 engineers, and annual budgets up to $50M. My work has included AI-enabled edge-to-cloud IoT platforms, LTE asset tracking, satellite communications, industrial wireless systems, robotics, UAVs, MEMS facilities, and enterprise deployments.

I enjoy bringing executives, engineering teams, customers, and partners together around shared objectives. I lead with systems thinking, servant leadership, data-driven decision making, risk management, and continuous improvement to remove barriers and deliver innovative products at scale.
