I lead technical programs and DevOps teams that automate critical investment research operations.
United StatesWhat I'm looking for
I lead business-critical programs and a global DevOps team for Deutsche Bank’s Investment Research division, improving development, deployment, and application support. I translate technical complexity into actionable plans while driving alignment across teams.
I delivered a critical build-tools remediation project four months ahead of schedule, improving developer productivity by 15% and reducing infrastructure costs by 7%. I also led a seven-member global team to automate financial-audit processes, reducing processing time by approximately 99% and saving the firm about $1.2 million.
Previously at Goldman Sachs, I managed the re-architecture of an investment research publication metadata system, automating 80% of manual effort. My experience spans project management, DevOps, application support, software development, incident management, and infrastructure automation.
I bring a STEM MBA, Lean Six Sigma Green Belt practice, and a leadership style grounded in ownership, inclusive communication, and continuous improvement. I’m motivated by complex initiatives where I can help teams deliver reliable, measurable results.
