01 About

I lead by making complexity navigable — translating ambiguous business problems into clean architectural decisions, then giving great engineers the space to own the outcome. My teams ship production systems, not prototypes.

At Kroll, I lead 12+ engineers building a cloud-native settlement administration platform on Azure and AWS — Airflow OCR pipelines, Kubernetes blue-green deployments, and a data estate serving Fortune 500 clients across legal, financial, and claims records.

My edge: I architect the system and build the team around it. 14 years across Settlement, Cyber Risk, eCommerce, and Healthcare means I can spot the pattern before the sprint starts — and my AWS Certified Solutions Architect background means I can write the design doc in the morning and review PRs in the afternoon.
