What I Build & Lead
18+ years building enterprise-grade platforms across retail, financial services, healthcare, and technology — at companies including Target, Best Buy, Wells Fargo, Comcast, and HCL/Cisco.
Enterprise Platform Engineering
I build the foundational platforms that engineering organizations depend on — internal developer tooling, B2B commerce systems, product data platforms, and service management infrastructure. Across Fortune 500 environments in retail (Target, Best Buy), financial services (Wells Fargo), telecom (Comcast), and technology (HCL/Cisco), I’ve led delivery of mission-critical platforms that serve hundreds of teams: replacing fragile legacy systems with resilient, self-service architectures built for long-term enterprise scale.

Distributed Systems & Data Infrastructure
I architect and operate distributed systems that process at a scale most engineers never encounter — real-time event pipelines, high-throughput Big Data platforms, and fault-tolerant systems handling millions of transactions daily. My work spans Kafka-based event architectures across retail and healthcare data, large-scale Spark and Hadoop ecosystems, real-time payment authorization engines (financial services), HL7 healthcare data transformation pipelines, and REST APIs serving enterprise ecosystems at companies including Target, Best Buy, Wells Fargo, Comcast, and Virtusa/Truven Health Analytics.

AI-driven Operations & Engineering Leadership
I bring an observability-first mindset to every platform I lead — instrumenting systems so anomalies surface before they become incidents. I’ve shipped generative AI-powered tooling in production, built automated incident response systems that reduce mean time to resolution, and driven security hardening that delivered measurable compliance improvements. Across 7+ years of engineering management — building teams from the ground up at Best Buy, leading multi-team organizations at Target — I specialize in translating complex technical systems into high-performing, inclusive engineering cultures.
