What I'm looking for

I'm looking to lead cloud-native engineering teams building scalable SaaS, IoT, or AI-enabled platforms, while strengthening delivery practices, developer experience, and cross-functional execution.

I've led software engineering at iApartments, Fortress Power, SafeFleet, and a stealth-mode airline startup, building and scaling teams across implementation, QA, DevOps, infrastructure, SRE, and support.

At Fortress Power, I led a VPP integration platform, reduced annual cloud costs by 20%, and delivered a portal that enabled non-technical staff to provision and monitor 500+ devices. At SafeFleet, I architected distributed fleet-management platforms supporting 5M+ daily transactions and reduced post-release defects by 30%.

I stay hands-on with AWS, Azure, Terraform, CI/CD, C#, Python, React, and cloud-native architecture while improving backlog quality, delivery practices, and engineering leadership. I also use AI-enabled services and internal tools to accelerate requirements analysis, support workflows, and enterprise data maturity.
