About

Hands-on technical engineering leader with 16+ years of experience architecting large-scale distributed systems and driving technical strategy across consumer and enterprise platforms. I’ve built foundational financial platforms, high-volume ingestion systems, and mission-critical pricing and simulation engines at Greenlight, Amazon, Palo Alto Networks, and Intuit. My strengths include platform architecture, event-driven systems, reliability engineering, and modernizing complex environments. Beyond individual system design, I focus on shaping engineering culture—mentoring engineers, defining standards, improving hiring processes, and enabling teams to deliver with clarity and velocity. I’m passionate about building scalable platforms, elevating engineering effectiveness, and partnering with product and business leaders to drive impactful outcomes. Open to connecting with engineering leaders, founders, and teams working on ambitious technical challenges.
