What I'm looking for

I seek leadership roles where I can drive end-to-end engineering strategy, scale platforms with AI and cloud procurement focus, mentor teams, and deliver measurable product and business outcomes in a growth-stage environment.

I am an engineering leader with 11+ years of experience building and scaling enterprise SaaS, cloud procurement, and AI-driven platforms, taking products from 0→1 and 1→scale while aligning technical execution with business outcomes through Series B growth. I have founded and exited a startup, led engineering organizations with high retention, and delivered platform reliability, automation, and agentic AI integrations that accelerated time-to-market.

My work spans end-to-end engineering strategy, platform architecture, observability, CI/CD, data pipelines, and LLM-driven product strategy. I prioritize hiring, mentorship, and cross-functional execution to drive measurable outcomes—improving developer velocity, reducing integration timelines, and delivering customer-facing procurement and SaaS products for enterprise clients.
