Professional Summary

I am a senior technology transformation leader with deep experience driving enterprise modernization in highly regulated financial services environments. My expertise spans cloud engineering, platform transformation, enterprise architecture, digital modernization, and applied AI — with a consistent focus on delivering secure, scalable, and resilient technology platforms that enable business growth.

I have led large, matrixed engineering and architecture organizations, delivering complex, multi-year transformation programs across consumer and wealth platforms. My work aligns technology strategy with business objectives, translating enterprise vision into executable roadmaps that reduce cost, modernize legacy systems, accelerate change, and improve customer and associate experiences.

As a transformation leader, I have driven enterprise cloud migrations and platform modernization initiatives that reduced infrastructure costs by ~25%, improved system stability and scalability, and increased speed-to-market. My scope has included modernization of customer- and associate-facing platforms across financial centers, teller systems, branch sales and service solutions, mobile banking, ATMs, and contact centers.

More recently, I have led the responsible adoption of Generative AI, embedding AI-assisted engineering productivity, intelligent automation, and platform-embedded AI services — driving ~30% reduction in manual effort, improved operational reliability, and increased engineering efficiency, while maintaining strong governance and compliance.

My leadership approach is grounded in outcomes, scale, and sustainability. I partner closely with executive leadership, product, risk, security, and operations teams to build durable technology foundations that enable organizations to operate with greater agility, resilience, and innovation in highly competitive markets.
