About

Senior Engineering Manager with 17+ years of experience evolving and scaling large-scale platform engineering and distributed systems for enterprise SaaS environments. I specialize in transforming existing data platforms into highly reliable, scalable, and cost-efficient systems—working under real-world constraints where stability, performance, and business continuity are critical. Currently at Bidgely, I lead platform engineering and AI-driven observability initiatives for a global energy analytics platform. My work focuses on improving system reliability, operational efficiency, and infrastructure economics while enabling large-scale data processing. Key highlights: • Scaled and optimized distributed data platforms to process ~4B records per day • Achieved 99.99% platform availability across production systems • Reduced production incidents by ~50% through AI-driven observability • Improved debugging efficiency by ~80% via automated RCA and intelligent diagnostics • Delivered >$3M in infrastructure cost savings through FinOps optimization My core areas of focus: • Platform Engineering & Distributed Systems • Kubernetes & Cloud Infrastructure (AWS, GCP) • Event-Driven Architectures & Data Platforms • AI-driven Observability & Operational Intelligence • Reliability Engineering (SLO/SLA, MTTR reduction) • FinOps & Infrastructure Cost Optimization Previously, I have worked on large-scale enterprise and cloud platforms at Siemens, Ericsson, and BlackLine, building strong foundations in distributed systems, automation, and production-scale operations. I enjoy building high-performing engineering teams and solving complex platform challenges—especially in environments where systems need to scale reliably, operate efficiently, and continuously evolve without disruption.
