What I'm looking for

I’m seeking a senior engineering role where I lead technical strategy, mentor teams, and build secure, reliable, large-scale distributed systems with cross-functional collaboration and measurable product impact.

I am a technical leader with 11 years of experience designing and delivering large-scale distributed systems that serve millions of users.

At Elevance Health I led development of the Sydney Health platform, improving provider search accuracy by 15% and reducing latency 20%, enabling real-time claims access for 5M users and scaling telehealth to 20K monthly consultations with 90% satisfaction.

Earlier roles in site reliability and software engineering drove platform reliability—reducing configuration errors 40%, accelerating incident resolution 30%, and scaling systems to process trillions of data points daily—while ensuring strong security and compliance across cloud environments.

I mentor engineers, partner with product and compliance teams to align roadmaps with business goals, and focus on building secure, reliable platforms using a modern cloud and data stack to drive operational excellence and measurable impact.
