About

I'm a versatile, solutions-driven technology leader with over 20 years of experience conceiving, developing, and overseeing complex web applications and digital platforms — primarily within the Life and Annuity sector. My career has spanned the full stack and the full leadership spectrum: from writing Flex UIs at Infosys to running Enterprise Architecture Governance at one of the largest mortgage servicers in the US.

At Rocket (Mr. Cooper) for nearly a decade, I led teams building omni-channel customer experience platforms, pioneered Docker adoption company-wide, and drove a shift to Cloud Native architecture. I also championed agentic AI development early, helping shape how engineering teams think about AI tooling and productivity.

I care deeply about servant leadership, developer experience, and building engineering cultures where people do their best work. I'm also a Cloudera-certified Hadoop developer, a McCombs AI & ML alumnus, a two-time hackathon winner, and an occasional contributor to open source.
