Platform Engineering & Leadership
I build and lead platform engineering teams
Over two decades across financial services, consulting, and technology, building cloud, database, and infrastructure functions from scratch.
I take on the decisions that carry the most risk and own them from start to finish, lower cost, higher uptime, and platforms modernized without downtime.
Selected work
- Migration programs, from idea to methodology: Started a Graviton (ARM64) program on AWS myself and carried it from business case through leadership approval to a benchmark-validated +39.5% cost/performance gain, now a reusable methodology across platforms. The full story →
- Enterprise consolidation: Led consolidation of 250+ workloads from a dozen legacy apps across three data centers in a single year, saving roughly $1M.
- Governance & security: Authored platform standards, intake, and readiness gates. Drove SOC 2, GDPR, and SOX practices with recurring audits.
- Operations built from zero: Built on-call, RCA, and monitoring standards for platforms that had none, now running at 99.95%+ uptime across large fleets.
