About me

Technology leadership.
Engineering breadth.

My experience spans enterprise application development, architecture, engineering leadership, and technology strategy. I’ve led engineering teams, worked alongside data and analytics professionals, and guided software initiatives from planning and design through delivery and ongoing support.

I take a technology-agnostic approach, choosing tools and platforms that address business needs while aligning with enterprise standards and existing systems. Alongside my advisory work at Open Sky Health, I stay actively involved in hands-on development, building projects in data engineering, cloud platforms, and applied AI. This work keeps me learning and informs how I approach architecture and technology decisions.
