VP of Engineering | CTO | Technology Executive | Cloud, AI, Platform, and Consulting Leadership
I am a technology executive with hands-on depth in cloud architecture, AI-enabled platforms, software engineering, and organizational leadership. I work across consulting, startup, and product environments, helping companies modernize platforms, scale engineering teams, improve delivery performance, and align technical execution with business goals.
My recent work has been centered on AWS-based cloud solutions, platform modernization, distributed systems, data and integration architectures, and AI-oriented products. I operate at the intersection of executive leadership and technical strategy, supporting decisions on architecture, delivery, team structure, cost, reliability, and quality.
I have led engineering teams through significant challenges including pandemic-driven cost optimization, large-scale cloud migrations for globally regulated companies, platform modernization for enterprise clients, and AI adoption initiatives.
