Direct technical strategy and execution across internal and client-facing digital initiatives within a lean, fast-paced environment. Oversee engineering roadmaps, staffing models, and cloud-native platform designs with a focus on scalable, mobile-first applications.
Key Achievements:
Mobile-First Platform Re-Architecture: Conceived and led the end-to-end re-engineering of the company’s public platform using a Node.js-based architecture to demonstrate high-performance engineering capabilities.
Strategic Technical Leadership: Directed architectural trade-offs—including framework selection and build-vs-buy decisions—to balance extensibility with disciplined cost management.
Enterprise-Scale Solution Design: Defined multi-team technical architectures for complex digital modernization initiatives within the GovCon sector, scaling delivery models from lean pods to organizations of 100+ resources.
AI Enablement & Process Automation: Developed internal generative AI workflows to accelerate technical documentation and solution modeling, significantly increasing engineering throughput and consistency.
API-Driven Modernization: Delivered production-ready, headless-ready architectures that preserved future growth paths while avoiding over-engineering in a lean environment.
Data & AI Strategy (Capital Markets): Initiated and led data lake development for Capital Markets to prepare for advanced analytics and AI-driven business solutions.
Team Structuring & Standards: Designed high-accountability staffing models and defined delivery milestones to ensure roadmap commitments were met under aggressive timelines.
Engineering Leader with over 15 years of experience building high-scale web and mobile-responsive products while leading distributed teams in fast-paced, high-accountability environments. I specialize in defining technical strategies that translate ambitious visions into actionable staffing and execution roadmaps, delivering consumer-facing, cloud-native applications that drive business value.
My career spans the spectrum from lean, rapid-growth environments to large-scale enterprise IT. As a VP of Technical Solutions, I recently led a strategic mobile-first re-architecture using Node.js to demonstrate internal engineering capability. Previously, at Fannie Mae, I directed engineering organizations of up to 40+ members with full accountability for $15M annual budgets, overseeing mission-critical, 24/7 systems while driving enterprise-wide Agile transformations. I am equally comfortable evaluating framework trade-offs for a lean startup pod as I am managing a 20+ member remote organization across multiple time zones.
I am passionate about fostering a high-performance engineering culture through inclusive hiring and mentorship, having rapidly scaled teams by 10+ engineers in under two months and promoted contributors into lead roles. Currently, I am focused on process automation and AI enablement, developing generative AI workflows to accelerate technical design and improve engineering consistency.
