I’m a senior IT infrastructure leader with over 25 years of experience helping large organizations build stable, scalable, and secure systems. My career has been spent guiding infrastructure teams through big transitions: from on-prem to cloud, from reactive support to proactive reliability, and from siloed work to aligned, high-performing collaboration.

What drives me isn’t just technology—it’s the opportunity to build teams and systems that work better together. I’ve seen firsthand how strong leadership, clear strategy, and a little less friction can transform the role of infrastructure in an organization—from a necessary cost center to a real enabler of growth and innovation.

My leadership philosophy is simple:

• People first: I focus on building healthy teams where engineers are trusted, empowered, and clear on what success looks like. Put the best people in a position to be successful and they will not let you down.
• Clarity over control: I set direction and priorities, then get out of the way so the experts can do their best work.
• Outcomes over process: I care more about results than rituals, and I believe in making decisions based on value, not just standards.
• Always improving: Whether it’s technology, process, or communication—I encourage curiosity and continuous improvement at every level. It is not about what we are doing today, but rather what we could achieve tomorrow.

I’ve led global infrastructure teams through cloud migrations, platform consolidations, and major cultural change. Along the way, I’ve helped reduce costs, increase reliability, and modernize systems for scale.

Some wins I’m proud of:

• Migrated enterprise platforms like Kafka and Apigee to AWS, improving scalability and reducing cost
• Introduced Site Reliability Engineering (SRE) practices that pushed uptime above 99.996%
• Reduced annual expenses by consolidating observability platforms
• Improved team satisfaction scores through intentional, values-driven leadership

Whether I’m solving technical challenges or navigating organizational ones, I aim to be a calm, clear, and collaborative force on any team I join.
