I’ve driven large-scale modernization programs — from an API-first architecture transformation to a cloud-native fraud detection platform on AWS, and an AI-powered No-Code platform that cut feature deployment cycles from months to a single day.Previously at Blue Yonder, I spent over 16 years guiding product and engineering transformations. I architected a high-performance OLAP engine that generated $110M+ annual revenue, pioneered UX research-led development, and delivered globally adopted SaaS solutions across supply chain and analytics domains.What drives me is not just building scalable, secure, and user-centric products — but also shaping engineering culture. I believe in empowering teams, mentoring future leaders, and fostering innovation that aligns technology strategy with business outcomes.I am passionate about:• Scaling engineering organizations while driving engagement and excellence.• Building future-ready platforms that leverage AI, data, and cloud-native architectures.• Strategic leadership that bridges technology, product, and business impact.Always open to connecting with leaders, innovators, and engineers passionate about creating value at scale and building the next generation of technology-driven organizations.
