About

I am an experienced Software Engineering leader with over 21 years in the tech industry, driving the design, development, and reliability of internet-scale infrastructure. Throughout my career, I’ve led large, geographically distributed teams, including a 90+ member Site Reliability Engineering (SRE) organization, focused on building and operating mission-critical systems. My expertise spans across distributed data systems, fleet management, and observability, overseeing platforms that support millions of users and handle trillions of daily transactions. At LinkedIn, I spearheaded the growth of SRE teams responsible for Kafka, NoSQL databases, Observability, Fleet Management and HDFS clusters processing exabytes of data, ensuring peak reliability and performance. Passionate about leading innovative teams, I excel at creating scalable, resilient software solutions that support business goals and optimize operational efficiency.
