Technology leader at Mindex helping transform Paychex engineering with AI-enabled delivery that doubled team throughput and cut testing effort by roughly 75%.

United States
Message

At Mindex, I lead software delivery across 15 Paychex teams in six portfolios and help move a 30+ team engagement toward repeatable AI-enabled and agentic engineering practices. AI-enabled delivery practices contributed to approximately doubling throughput on participating teams and reducing testing effort by roughly 75% while maintaining quality.

I founded an AI Community of Practice with 60–80 regular participants and 100+ peak attendance, and organized a 10-member AI SME network to share practices and support adoption. I also helped scale an engineering-developed agentic playbook across the broader engagement.

At PeerPlace Networks, I designed a reusable legacy-data migration framework that helped enable 300% client growth by reducing onboarding time and effort. I also led application migrations to AWS and managed a 10-person engineering team while continuing technical leadership across architecture, data integration, and business intelligence.

Earlier, at SOLU TECHNOLOGY PARTNERS, I led enterprise data warehouse integration for a centralized BI platform. At SIGMA MARKETING GROUP, I progressed from engineering and data architecture into a Director role, managed strategic client accounts, and helped grow a client relationship from approximately $50K to $3M in annual recurring revenue.
