About

I'm an engineering leader with 15+ years building and scaling AI and data platforms at Microsoft, Apple, and Intel, most recently as a Director of Software Engineering leading global teams across Ads modernization, data governance, and infrastructure projects. I've owned multi-million dollar engineering budgets, led cross-functional teams through high-stakes technical and organizational decisions, and built the kind of evaluation discipline that catches flawed assumptions before they ship.
