What I'm looking for

I'm seeking leadership roles where I can build and mentor engineering teams, drive AI-enabled product innovation, and scale secure, high-quality platforms.

I lead technology, software, and innovation teams to transform ideas into robust, valuable products across banking, healthcare, insurance, and startups. I create and mentor multidisciplinary teams, establish standards of technical excellence, security, and quality, and integrate Generative AI to accelerate development and product outcomes.

I've built and scaled SaaS products to hundreds of thousands of users, directed engineering and innovation organizations at large financial and healthcare companies, and served as a Google Developer Expert and startup mentor. I deliver measurable impact through operational efficiency, MVPs and pilots, and by fostering technical agility and strong engineering practices.
