Product & engineering leader driving scalable fintech and enterprise SaaS solutions with cloud and Generative AI expertise.
What I'm looking for
I am a product and engineering leader with 11 years' experience delivering high-volume, resilient cloud platforms and fintech solutions across global markets. I translate C-suite vision into technical roadmaps and have driven programs spanning 200 countries and millions of users.
I've architected serverless microservices and cloud-native systems (AWS, EKS, Lambda) that reduced costs ~90% while achieving sub-100ms latency and 99.99% uptime. I led a global VOIP migration delivering $50M savings and 95% user migration rates.
My cross-functional leadership includes managing multi-disciplinary teams, global program governance, and P&L accountability for large partnerships (managed $90M). I delivered 0-to-1 platform launches, end-to-end product lifecycles, and achieved 100% audit pass rates for GDPR/PCI/AML compliance.
I mentor technical and business teams, champion Agile at scale (SAFe), and research generative AI and LLM applications to personalize products. I seek opportunities to build scalable, secure fintech and enterprise SaaS products that drive measurable business impact.
