About

With over 19 years of experience blending technical acumen and management expertise, I currently lead engineering teams dedicated to delivering highly scalable and distributed systems on the Digital Commerce Platform. My role involves collaborating with Business Product Managers, Product Owners, Solution Architects, Technical Architects, and cross-functional, geographically diverse teams to create roadmaps and deliver program increments using Agile SAFe methodologies across all business unit-funded projects and other strategic initiatives. I excel in managing high-performance agile teams, driving innovation, and ensuring the highest quality of products during each feature rollout to end customers. My responsibilities include hiring talented engineers, both full-time and contractors, through strategic vendor partnerships. I am also accountable for budgeting and revenue forecasting for a team of close to 100 engineers distributed across multiple locations. Before joining Thermo Fisher Scientific, I was part of Cognizant's Non-Functional Testing CoE, managing deliverables for a major Life Sciences client in the US. During this tenure, I demonstrated strong performance engineering capabilities, specializing in NFR management, NFT consulting, performance testing delivery, management, and business development. Technical Expertise: HP Performance Center / Load Runner versions 8.x through 12.x, HP Sitescope, Gomez-Dynatrace, Rigor Jenkins, AWS Cloud Watch, DataDog, Splunk, Quality Center, Atlassian JIRA & Confluence.
