About
I am a Director of Engineering with 18+ years of experience leading large scale product engineering and digital platforms across global enterprises. My work focuses on building high performing engineering organizations that deliver predictable outcomes, strong engineering quality, and measurable business impact at scale. I bring a strong foundation in technical program leadership and execution at scale, which I apply to engineering leadership, enabling clarity across complex delivery environments, aligning stakeholders, and driving disciplined execution across multi-team, multi-geo programs. I have led 100+ member global engineering organizations, owned multi-million-dollar portfolios, and operated across the full product lifecycle from architecture and roadmap alignment through delivery, release, and operational excellence. My experience spans product and platform engineering, cloud native systems (AWS, Azure), SaaS platforms, data engineering, and modernization initiatives, with a strong emphasis on engineering excellence, system reliability, automation, and metrics driven governance. I work closely with architects, product leaders, and business stakeholders to balance speed, quality, cost, and risk, while creating environments where teams can operate with autonomy and accountability. I have expertise in combining structured execution discipline with practical technical judgment, enabling teams to scale sustainably while maintaining high standards for quality, reliability, and customer trust. My leadership style emphasizes transparency, ownership, and developing future leaders who can operate independently.
