Lead Software Engineer · Cloud & Platform Engineering

Engineering reliable, scalable systems for global products.

With 13+ years of experience, I design and deliver high-impact platforms across ML infrastructure, risk analytics, and cloud engineering. I've reduced project delivery times by 20%, increased user engagement by 25%, and realized $3M in cost savings through strategic automation at Walmart, PayPal, Ford, Microsoft, and IBM.

About Me

I specialize in distributed systems, cloud-native development, and developer platform engineering in agile and cloud computing environments. My recent focus has been on ML delivery pipelines, risk analytics systems, and enterprise infrastructure modernization using Kubernetes, AWS, Azure, and GCP.

With 6+ years managing teams of up to 10 engineers and 5+ years with cloud technologies, I've driven a 20% reduction in delivery times, 25% increase in user engagement, and $3M in operational savings through strategic compliance and automation. I hold an MBA from the University of Illinois and an MS in Computer Science from UT Dallas.
