Career Summary

I am a seasoned Executive Principal Engineering and Solution Architecture Leader with a rich background operating at the Vice President level for both budding startups and established Fortune 100 companies. My vast experience spans over two decades, with a proven track record in successfully overseeing all phases of complex, high-profile technology initiatives - from inception to maturity.

As a strong team leader, I have adeptly managed teams of more than 30 on- and off-shore developers from diverse backgrounds and geographical locations, including India, Ireland, Ukraine, and Mexico. My leadership style emphasizes mentorship and team cohesion.

I was instrumental in the successful migration of technology acquired by Charles Schwab from an acquisition into official Schwab Systems in AWS. As a trusted consultant, I have worked on-site at Microsoft Corporate Headquarters in Redmond, Washington, where I collaborated with users, managers, and development teams.

While my professional focus is on leading and architecting transformative technological solutions, I also enjoy writing as a creative outlet. My passion for innovation in technology naturally extends into my storytelling, where I explore complex, existential themes drawn from over three decades of experience in engineering and solution architecture.
