At Allegiant Air, I led five teams across the US and India on software development, modernization, AI enablement, and compliance. I also led initiatives that saved over $2 million in annual IT expenses through COTS vendor integrations.

As Lead Engineer, Software at Allegiant Air, I spearheaded the reengineering of a PHP monolith into AWS SOA with Java and Node apps and services. I also contributed to cloud app and data pipeline migrations.

At Sage Software, I contributed to Business Cloud X3 R&D, re-engineered legacy apps into cloud services, and established code coverage and release quality policies. Earlier, at Sharp Labs of America and Nomadix Inc., I worked on content management and high-availability SaaS platforms.
