With 18+ years of experience leading high-impact engineering organizations, I specialize in scaling technology teams, driving cross-functional alignment, and delivering platforms that fuel business growth. Currently a Director of Engineering at Auto1, I oversee strategic initiatives across backend, frontend, and mobile domains — mentoring senior engineering managers, enabling org-wide collaboration, and guiding product-engineering alignment across multiple customer-facing and internal platforms. My role extends beyond execution to shaping technical vision, organizational structure, and long-term platform strategy. I bring a strong track record of building and leading high-performing teams, architecting scalable systems, and accelerating delivery through modern practices. I’m particularly passionate about the intersection of AI, automation, and product engineering — and how technical strategy can unlock value across business lines. Throughout my career, I’ve bridged business and engineering by making data-informed decisions, aligning roadmaps with measurable ROI, and navigating complexity at scale. Whether leading platform transformations, re-architecting core systems, or developing next-gen products, I bring both strategic vision and hands-on leadership. Highlights: - Built and scaled globally distributed engineering teams across multiple business domains - Led replatforming efforts impacting millions of customers and unlocking internal efficiencies - Mentored senior leaders and EMs to operate at greater scope, autonomy, and accountability - Collaborated closely with C-level leaders to align technology investments with business strategy
