Engineering leader with 20+ years of experience building, scaling, and operating software platforms in SaaS, enterprise, and regulated environments. I’ve spent most of my career at the intersection of engineering, architecture, and operations, leading high-performing teams, defining technical strategy, and ensuring reliable delivery of complex systems at scale. My background spans platform engineering, service delivery, R&D, and technical leadership, with a strong focus on execution, quality, and people development. In recent roles, I’ve led multidisciplinary and distributed teams, partnered closely with product and business stakeholders, and driven initiatives around platform scalability, operational excellence, incident management, and continuous improvement. I’m particularly strong at turning complex technical challenges into clear execution plans that teams can own and deliver. I believe great engineering organizations are built on trust, autonomy, and strong technical foundations. I care deeply about mentoring leaders, enabling teams to do their best work, and creating environments where delivery is predictable, systems are resilient, and engineers can grow.
