About
I'm a technology leader with over 20 years of experience building platforms and solutions across healthcare, fintech, manufacturing, and e-commerce.
Since 2004, I've been writing software professionally. Since 2009, I've been leading teams and shaping technology strategy. I navigate the "architecture elevator", from the engine room to the boardroom, helping engineers master their craft while guiding executives on technology direction.
Current Focus Areas
I'm particularly interested in how AI is reshaping engineering leadership:
- AI-Enabled Engineering: Helping teams adopt AI tools responsibly, with guardrails that enable rather than restrict
- AIOps & Intelligent Operations: Using AI to improve observability, incident response, and operational efficiency
- Governance at Scale: Building lightweight frameworks that work across distributed teams
- Platform as Product: Treating internal platforms with the same rigor as customer-facing products
I believe AI amplifies what's already there. Strong foundations get stronger, dysfunction gets louder. That's why I focus on getting the fundamentals right first.
