Experience

1. Sr Director, Operations and Infrastructure

   Docker, Inc

   Feb 2026 — Present · Seattle, WA, US

   As Sr. Director, Operations and Infrastructure, I\'ll be focused on raising the bar for how we operate and deliver across our engineering organization. Docker is transforming from a single-product business into a multi-product, usage-based platform relied on by 20M+ developers worldwide, and my mandate is to drive the operational enhancements that enable us to scale with confidence. I\'m building the frameworks, metrics, and programs that systematically improve reliability, incident management, and platform efficiency — and leveraging AI to accelerate and simplify that work for both our engineers and our customers.
