About

I lead the digital technology team behind PenFed’s consumer banking platform—a group of 130+ talented folks who design, build, and support the web and mobile experiences our members rely on every single day. Whether someone’s opening a savings account, applying for an auto loan, or just checking their balance on the go, odds are, my team had a hand in making it seamless. What we do goes far beyond writing code. I’m accountable for digital self-service and acquisition across our entire suite—deposits, lending, credit cards—you name it. From strategy to execution, we’re on the hook for how it performs, how it feels, and how well it holds up under pressure. Think of us as a kind of in-house digital agency, deeply embedded with the business, and fully accountable for everything from security and compliance to user experience. Since joining PenFed in 2020, I’ve led a full-stack modernization of our digital banking platform—launching new Salesforce-powered systems, delivering a hybrid mobile app in under nine months, and establishing strong governance to align with cybersecurity, audit, and risk standards. Today, the platform is cloud-native, resilient, and built for scale. But most importantly, every decision we make still comes back to one thing: how it impacts the member. If it doesn’t make their lives easier, it’s not worth building. Before PenFed, I worked at FIS, TD Bank, and Wipro, where I focused on digital products in payments, bill pay, and money movement. I’ve always leaned toward a practical, design-conscious, and results-oriented approach—less about flashy architecture diagrams, more about shipping things that actually work and solve real problems. I honestly believe we’re building one of the most collaborative, capable fintech teams in the space. It’s a group that cares deeply—not just about tech, but about doing meaningful work together. If you’re a technologist, designer, or product leader who’s passionate about solving complex problems at scale, let’s talk. We’re growing fast—and what we’re building? It matters.
