Engineering leader with 18+ years of experience scaling global teams and building impactful enterprise and consumer software. At Microsoft, Amazon, and Disney, I managed over 150 engineers —launching end-to-end products that support billions of transactions and generate hundreds of millions in revenue. From Identity at Microsoft to serverless analytics at AWS QuickSight to mobile innovation at Disney and Amazon, I’ve driven technical vision, platform architecture, and operational excellence across cloud-native, distributed, and mobile-first systems. I thrive on solving complex challenges, creating future-ready platforms, and building high-performance teams. My leadership style is people-first, outcome-driven, and grounded in deep technical knowledge. I partner cross-functionally to translate business needs into scalable, resilient systems—with a keen focus on observability, developer experience, and velocity.
