About

Director of Engineering leading 120+ engineers at Oracle, at the intersection of cloud infrastructure and healthcare data. I build and scale engineering organizations that ship reliable, high-performance distributed systems at enterprise scale. My background spans the full stack of engineering leadership, scaling platform engineering teams, driving cloud-native migrations, hiring senior technical talent, and building the operational frameworks that let fast-moving organizations stay fast. I've led complex transformations across OCI networking, managed streaming infrastructure (Kafka), and healthcare data platforms. I care about talent density. I serve as a bar raiser, have hired Directors, Senior Staff Engineers, and engineering managers across Oracle, and believe engineering culture is defined by clarity of ownership and high hiring bars. Earlier roles at Teradata, Agilysys, Nintendo, Gazillion Entertainment, and RealNetworks gave me depth across enterprise data, gaming, and consumer software before moving into cloud and health tech.
