Message

At EPAM Systems, I direct strategic portfolios valued at $35M–$50M+ and lead global delivery teams. For Bread Financial, I’m leading an Azure-to-AWS migration, defining the strategy, roadmap, and execution.

My work spans cloud migration and enterprise modernization across banking, insurance, retail, education, and supply chain. At EPAM Systems, I’ve worked on mainframe modernization, microservices adoption, and Kubernetes enablement across AWS, Azure, and GCP.

Earlier, at Infosys Limited, I supported the Rabobank RFP while managing ABN AMRO delivery. I contributed to securing a $25M program and was recognized for cross-account impact and pre-sales excellence.

I’ve also directed digital payments delivery for MasterCard’s “Click to Pay” at TEKsystems and cloud-native funds transfer transformation for CITI Bank at Infosys. I focus on delivery governance, modernization, and aligning technology programs with business objectives.
