About

I’m a transformation-focused engineering leader who connects cutting-edge AI innovation to real business outcomes. I build and empower cross-functional teams, ensuring both people and technology grow together. My approach blends clear strategic vision, empathy for stakeholders, and the discipline to turn ambitious ideas into scalable, production-grade solutions. Currently, I lead the Walmart Advertising Platforms, where I focus on building reliable, scalable systems that power next-generation advertising experiences. My core strengths lie in engineering leadership, software architecture, system design, stakeholder alignment, and driving org-wide transformation. I am also the engineering lead for Vizio Integration with Walmart. Besides AdTech, I lead the agentic AI transformation across our suppliers, sellers, advertisers, and creators by developing Marty, the super-agent platform powered by a ensemble of LLMs. Above all, I believe in leading with purpose, mentoring with intention, and building technology that truly moves the needle.
