What I'm looking for

I’m looking for Senior or Staff TPM roles working on platforms, payments, or AI infrastructure.

At Uniphore, I led a 12-month program to consolidate infrastructure and tooling across three companies after two acquisitions, delivering on schedule with zero customer impact. I also rolled out AI coding assistants across engineering, increasing productivity fourfold.

At Velo Labs, I managed a cross-border payments platform and led partner integrations that reduced settlement times by 70%. At EY, I led a $70M personal auto policy transformation involving more than 300 system integrations, delivered on time. I’m open to Senior and Staff TPM roles working on platforms, payments, or AI infrastructure.
