What I'm looking for

I'm looking to lead complex cloud, data, platform, or embedded engineering initiatives where I can turn ambiguous customer and business needs into practical production solutions, mentor teams, and improve delivery through disciplined AI-assisted workflows.

At Target, I lead delivery for a company-wide, multi-petabyte storage platform, designing APIs and coordinating customer data migration planning to GCP. I translate partner requirements into shared platform services while supporting distributed engineering and operations across the U.S. and India.

Through Rogue Penguin Consulting and embedded engineering roles, I've delivered modernization, integration, firmware, data, and production-management solutions from discovery through knowledge transfer. I combine hands-on architecture, customer-facing consulting, AI-assisted engineering workflows, and 20+ years of experience resolving complex cross-layer technical problems.
