I build high-performing engineering orgs that deliver enterprise-scale, AI-integrated systems and I do it with heart. With 15+ years in software development and 7+ years leading globally distributed teams, I’ve learned that sustainable velocity comes from investing in people, systems, UX and strategy.As a former leader at Oracle, Rackspace, and fast-moving tech startups, I’ve scaled cloud-native platforms, modernized legacy architectures, and integrated AI into engineering workflows long before it became trendy.
