About

Who am I? I am a senior engineering and general management leader with 15+ years of experience building, scaling, and operating cloud-native platforms in regulated environments. I currently lead Nifty Gateway with end-to-end responsibility across engineering, product, design, marketing, business development, and customer support. My work spans platform modernization, payments and money movement, operating model design, and organizational scale across global teams. What drives me? I am motivated by complex, high-stakes problems that require clarity, disciplined execution, and strong cross-functional alignment. I enjoy developing engineering managers and senior leaders, shaping long-term platform and organizational strategy, and creating environments where teams can deliver reliably at scale. I care deeply about availability, performance, cost discipline, and building trust with customers and stakeholders through predictable operations and sound technical decisions. Where am I headed? I am focused on senior leadership roles where I can guide platform and technology strategy, scale multi-disciplinary organizations, and apply AI and automation to improve delivery efficiency and operational effectiveness. My goal is to build durable platforms, strong operating models, and high-performing teams that enable sustained business outcomes, not short-term wins.
