Senior Director–level engineering leader driving enterprise-scale transformation of software delivery, SRE, and platform engineering across globally distributed organizations.
I specialize in scaling pilot DevOps initiatives into durable enterprise standards — deploying DORA metric frameworks, building CI/CD and automated testing infrastructure, and establishing communities of practice across large, matrixed organizations.
As the first engineering hire at KJAYA, a medical imaging SaaS startup, I architected a full PACS-integrated platform from first principles: DICOM data ingestion and workflow pipelines, GPU-accelerated volumetric 3D reconstruction, Infiniband high-speed networking, and HIPAA/FIPS/NIST-compliant cloud infrastructure. I gathered requirements directly from radiologists and clinical staff, supported NSF grant proposals, and managed every aspect of production infrastructure from data center racking through commercial deployment. Few engineering leaders combine this depth of regulated healthcare domain knowledge with enterprise delivery leadership at Nokia and Cisco scale.
20+ years across enterprise technology transformation, regulated healthcare systems, and global platform engineering.
Leads global SRE and Platform Engineering teams driving DevSecOps transformation, CI/CD reliability, DORA metric adoption, and engineering excellence culture across a globally distributed organization operating in a zero-trust security environment. Achieved 50% MTTR reduction and sustained 99.995% platform availability.
Founded Nokia's central DevOps and platform engineering capability — leading enterprise transformation of software development practices across 150+ R&D product teams and 16,000+ developers. Achieved 70% reduction in deployment time and 60% quality improvement through enterprise-wide CI/CD modernization and IaC governance.
First engineering hire at a healthcare SaaS startup building a medical imaging and PACS platform. Architected DICOM workflows, GPU-accelerated volumetric 3D reconstruction, Infiniband networking, and HIPAA/FIPS/NIST-compliant infrastructure from first principles to commercial scale. Gathered requirements from radiologists, supported NSF grant projects, managed data centers, and contributed to investor fundraising.
