United StatesWhat I'm looking for
I lead engineering teams building large-scale AWS data platforms, analytics systems, and AI-powered products. At Motorola Solutions, I manage teams delivering distributed video management products, including high-scaling clustering systems and mobile applications.
At Amazon, I delivered AWSBook for government contract billing, RFx Engine for ML-powered proposal discovery, and Cold Front, an operational data platform combining S3, Glue, Kinesis, Elasticsearch, Redshift, React, and GraphQL. I also led Clue to 10,000 weekly active users and deployed Delphi, reducing proposal content creation time by 40–50%.
I’ve managed engineering managers and senior engineers across multi-team portfolios while partnering with Product, Analytics, Data Science, and executive stakeholders on strategy, roadmaps, operational excellence, and scalable architecture.
Earlier, I served as CTO at KAC Health, where I built a machine learning model to predict patient status from care-plan, biometric, weather, and environmental data. My background also includes product and engineering leadership in data security, storage systems, IoT, and healthcare technology.
