About

I am a Staff Product Manager at Confluent, where I lead product strategy and execution for Confluent Platform and Confluent for Kubernetes (CFK). My work spans multi-tenancy, KRaft migration, and platform enablement across diverse architectures including IBM LinuxONE (s390x). With over a decade of experience in infrastructure and data platforms, I focus on building resilient, operable systems that meet real-world customer and operator needs. My core strengths include cloud-native architecture, Apache Kafka and KRaft, Kubernetes and platform engineering, and storage and data infrastructure. I work closely with engineering, field, and customers to define roadmaps, validate designs, and benchmark performance and reliability at scale. I’m passionate about making Kafka-based platforms easier to operate, through opinionated automation, robust multi-tenancy, and safer migration and upgrade paths, and about turning these capabilities into clear customer value.
