What I'm looking for

I seek senior technical roles where I can design scalable, compliant cloud systems, lead cross-functional teams, and drive product and architectural strategy.

I am a Principal Engineer and Enterprise Architect with 15+ years designing cloud-native, fault-tolerant systems for high-volume and regulated environments, including life sciences and medical devices.

I have led development of multi-million-dollar distributed platforms, integrated with numerous external systems, and delivered measurable cost savings and compliance artifacts such as GAMP-based SDLC and SOX-aligned controls.

I bring hands-on expertise across full stacks (Ruby on Rails, React, Java, AWS), DevOps/SRE practices, technical leadership in M&A and patents, and a TOGAF certification to align architecture with business outcomes.
