I build the technology that enable businesses to compete, scale, and innovate in the digital age.

I lead enterprise-wide modernization initiatives across cloud platforms, AI/ML integration, and payments ecosystems. My role sits at the intersection of strategy and execution; defining architectural standards, championing DevSecOps transformation, leading Cloud modernization, and ensuring our technology investments deliver measurable business value.

I've led complex technical integrations, managed 225+ global resources and $80M+ in budgets. My teams built the provisioning architecture that enabled the first seamless customer experience across merged carrier networks. I also represented companies in FCC proceedings, helping shape national standards for number porting.

What I bring to the table:
    *Enterprise strategy and governance across cloud, data, and application platforms
    *Cloud modernization and platform transformation
    *AI/ML, RPA, and API-driven innovation
    *DevSecOps, FinOps, Agile, and ITIL practices
    *Global team leadership and budget management
    *Vendor lifecycle management and contract negotiation
    *Industry standards representation and regulatory engagement
    *Cross-functional leadership spanning technology, finance, and operations
    *Executive-level communication and stakeholder management

I'm passionate about building technology ecosystems that are not just modern, but resilient, scalable, and aligned with business outcomes. Whether it's accelerating delivery through Automation, unlocking insights with AI, or simplifying complex legacy systems, I focus on creating lasting value.

I work in the intersection of technology and business strategy; where decisions unlock competitive advantage, modernization efforts deliver ROI, and cross-functional collaboration turns complex problems into elegant solutions.

Open to connecting with technology leaders and innovators driving the future.
