Associate Vice President - IT
Jul 2020 — Present · Princeton, NJ, US
I am an innovative, results-driven Software Engineering Leader & Product Innovator with extensive experience driving the development, deployment, and modernization of business-critical platforms and software solutions for global organizations.Throughout my career, I led large-scale software modernization, cloud migration, and AI-driven automation initiatives to enhance platform performance, scalability, and security. I defined product roadmaps, streamlined DevOps and CI/CD pipelines, and improved system resilience for high-traffic applications. Additionally, I led and collaborated with cross-functional teams to optimize enterprise software solutions, ensuring seamless integration and user experience. Some of my key achievements include increasing process efficiencies by up to 40%, transforming ETS’ global test registration platform, improving usability for 230K+ daily users, and leading cloud migrations that reduced infrastructure costs by 25%. I also spearheaded the turnaround of a failing K-12 assessment system, securing a multimillion-dollar contract renewal over 5 years. If my profile is relevant to you, let’s connect.
