What I'm looking for

I'm looking to lead cross-functional product delivery for scalable enterprise technology and data solutions, using my background in requirements, Agile delivery, stakeholder communication, and operational improvement.

At American Express, I lead delivery and management of eight production data pipelines across requirements, development, testing, deployment, monitoring, and support.

I reduced pipeline execution time from 20 hours to 45 minutes and delivered scalable data solutions processing millions of records. I also implemented more than 1,700 automated tests, raising SonarQube coverage from 13% to 90%.

I coordinate engineers, architects, product managers, and business stakeholders to manage dependencies, risks, milestones, and releases in Agile/Scrum environments. I create reusable documentation and processes that improve standardization and delivery efficiency.

Beyond engineering, I taught mobile app development at CCNY STEM Institute, guiding students through design, wireframing, UI/UX, coding, and technology pitches. My background spans software engineering, data engineering, web development, technical support, and product delivery.
