About

With nearly 20 years of experience in software engineering and leadership, I’ve grown from a decade of hands-on development into a leader focused on scaling teams, modernizing systems, and aligning engineering strategy with business goals. My journey spans Cloud, Financial Services, and Logistics, combining technical depth with people-first leadership. At Amazon, I lead the Corporate Hiring Platform supporting 1M+ candidates annually, driving a 40% reduction in time-to-hire and boosting decision-making accuracy through GenAI/LLM initiatives. At AWS, I scaled the S3 Replication Insights team from 4 → 11 engineers, streamlining operations by 45%. Earlier at Demandbase (InsideView), I managed 28 engineers across three teams, delivering a $25M+ revenue platform, introducing SAFe for a 30% release efficiency gain, and earning back-to-back Best Manager awards. I’m passionate about mentorship—having guided 20+ engineers into senior and leadership roles—and about creating a culture where innovation, operational excellence, and team growth thrive together. Looking ahead, I’m seeking Senior Engineering Manager or Director roles in product-focused companies where I can drive innovation, digital transformation, and large-scale impact, while continuing to nurture the next generation of engineering leaders.
