What I'm looking for

I'm looking to lead complex engineering and data-platform initiatives where I can design scalable architecture, build high-quality software, mentor teams, and deliver measurable operational improvements.

I'm currently developing data solutions, lakes, and warehouses for a Fortune 500 CPG company at Sigmoid. Previously, I led technical work at Soroco and Samsung Electronics, spanning cloud applications, mobile platforms, and service-oriented architecture.

I've improved application speed by 20% and reduced memory footprint by 35% by identifying memory leaks and moving a codebase to smart pointers. I build high- and low-level architectures, write scalable code, and lead small teams through complex deliveries.
