At Carnival Corporation, I lead an enterprise data engineering program across AWS, Azure, and Oracle Cloud Infrastructure, supporting cloud migration, governance, and application modernization. I direct a cross-functional team of 25+ engineers, architects, and vendor resources, and improved delivery velocity 30% by restructuring sprint planning and capacity-based resourcing.

I’ve also led data platform and analytics work at LPL Financial, where I designed and implemented ODS, data lake, and data warehouse environments underpinning firm-wide reporting. Across financial services, retail, and travel, I’ve delivered data engineering and analytics programs, including data remediation, centralized data hubs, and production SAS applications.
