Principal Platform Architect using AI-enabled DevEx to improve engineering effectiveness.
What I'm looking for
I’m a Staff/Principal Platform Architect with 20+ years leading platform architecture, cloud transformation, and AI-driven engineering initiatives across enterprise environments. I combine deep technical expertise with a genuine focus on the human side of software—reducing friction and preventing burnout—while holding the line on security, resilience, scalability, and performance.
At AVEVA, I advise senior leadership on engineering effectiveness using developer experience metrics (DX Core), design and deploy AI-driven PR automation agents that reduced cycle time by ~10%, and support Connect adoption through hands-on guidance and solution design. Previously at Microsoft, I led 10–12 large-scale cloud engagements, partnered with Big 4 teams to accelerate adoption of Azure and Azure DevOps, and helped teams build secure, DevOps-ready development practices (including offensive security training like “Beat the Hack”). I keep pushing toward the next generation of engineering authoring platforms—leading Minerva with a cross-functional team of 6 and shaping the direction for ~100 engineers across R&D.
