About

Engineering leader with a background in software development and program management. I specialize enabling engineering teams to deliver complex software reliably at scale. Most recently, I built and led a Technical PMO at DISH supporting over 200+ concurrent software and data initiatives across engineering, analytics, and platform teams. My focus was improving delivery predictability, modernizing legacy platforms, and aligning engineering execution with enterprise priorities. Over the past year, I have also led initiatives focused on operationalizing AI, helping teams integrate AI-driven tools and automation into engineering workflows to improve productivity, delivery velocity, and decision-making. Key areas of impact: • Engineering Operations: Built the operational framework for large-scale engineering delivery, improving project visibility and cross-team coordination. • Modernization Programs: Supported large-scale transitions from legacy systems toward cloud-native architectures (Kubernetes, Kafka, CI/CD). • Technical Leadership: Former software engineer with experience in C#, Java, JavaScript (React/Angular), and distributed systems. I am currently relocating to eastern Canada and interested in engineering management, technical program leadership, and engineering operations roles within the Canadian technology ecosystem. LET'S CONNECT! I’m always open to connections and coffee chats with professionals who think deeply about what we’re building and why we’re building it. Let's connect and grow the community together.
