About

Currently, I am a Software Engineer at Salesforce dedicated to the Agentic Transformation of Marketing Cloud. My focus is on engineering autonomous, self-healing systems that detect and resolve complex issues 'automagically' before they impact the enterprise. My career is built on a foundation of 21 years at Microsoft, where I wore many hats: Principal Product Manager, Escalation Engineer, Premier Field Engineer. I played a key role in the evolution of SQL Server and Azure SQL, bridging the gap between deep technical architecture and product strategy. This journey began at Ramco Systems, where I first learned the intricacies of enterprise software. Today, I combine my Product Management mindset with Software Engineering execution. I don't just build features, I architect the resilient, intelligent infrastructure required for the era of autonomous AI agents.
