I am an accomplished industry professional with a proven track record of success in team leadership, software engineering, and innovation. My passion lies in driving growth and delivering results through technology and leadership, and I am always on the lookout for new challenges and opportunities to make a positive impact. My journey began as a team leader in the army, where I successfully led a team of software and electrical engineers in developing and deploying cutting-edge technology solutions. After my tenure in the army, I transitioned to the private sector, where I contributed significantly as a senior software engineer at Dell, working on a distributed file system product. Building on my experience, I joined a startup as a founding engineer and played a pivotal role in its growth and success. After its second funding round (series B), Velostrata was acquired by Google. Leveraging my experience and expertise, I joined Amazon and founded a new AWS service that surpassed $1 billion in ARR, further cementing my reputation as a leader in the industry. As a leader, I excel in building and leading high-performing teams of software engineers and product managers and am committed to developing innovative solutions and simplifying complex systems, particularly in the areas of distributed systems, scalable storage, payments and data protection services. Today, I am a principal software engineer and chief architect at Highline, a Fintech startup that revolutionizes the way we pay bills.
