Executive Profile
Technical Project Manager and Quality Engineering leader with 15+ years across software development, database engineering, automation architecture, performance engineering, AI-assisted delivery and distributed technical programs.
Leads complex platform and Quality Engineering work by connecting architecture, delivery mechanisms, people and measurable evidence. Combines hands-on technical judgment with roadmap ownership, dependency management, release readiness and team enablement.
The consistent focus is not simply creating more automation or process. It is building delivery systems teams can trust, extend and sustain.
