I lead cloud security, AI innovation, and enterprise modernization programs across complex engineering organizations.

What I'm looking for

I'm looking to lead high-impact technical programs involving cloud security, AI innovation, enterprise modernization, and cross-functional engineering execution.

At Oracle, I lead cloud security and strategic programs across a 1,500+ employee Cloud Data organization. I designed governance for host, container image, and source-code vulnerabilities and led 15+ security initiatives to 100% completion.

I drive execution across 30+ engineering teams, develop reusable Codex skills to improve internal workflows, and define program governance, dependencies, risks, and KPIs. I also designed the Product Fair portal, which received 18k+ landing-page visits.

I proposed and led an organization-wide AI Ideathon that engaged 350+ employees and generated high-impact ideas for future implementation. My work enhancing the security posture of the Data and Observability organization earned the 2024 Customer Champion Award.

Previously at CTS and TCS, I delivered 10+ modernization projects, led teams of up to 12, built Java and Spring MVC applications, and supported end-to-end software delivery. I bring hands-on experience in Java, J2EE, enterprise application architecture, stakeholder management, and technical team leadership.
