Detail
Head of Engineering - AI Foundations
Seattle, Washington, United States
Engineering leader with 20+ years of experience building and scaling high-performing teams that deliver platform, security, and AI-powered systems at enterprise scale, from $100M+ revenue-generating products at Progressive to global platforms serving 150M+ users at Expedia Group.
My work sits at the intersection of technical depth and business impact. I build systems and define the strategy behind them, align senior stakeholders, and drive the trade-offs that move organizations forward. Whether that's improving security compliance from 15% to 85% in 12 months, cutting $25M+ in cloud costs through developer platform investments, or designing AI-driven automation that saved thousands engineering hours annually, I consistently connect engineering execution to measurable business outcomes.
I have built and led multi-team organizations (25+ engineers across US and India), established SRE operating models, championed cloud transformations from monolith to microservices, and delivered real-time data platforms processing billions of daily events. I'm equally comfortable in the whiteboard room with architects and the boardroom with executives.
Core strengths: Distributed systems architecture · AWS cloud platforms · Security & compliance engineering · AI/ML enablement · SRE and reliability · Developer productivity · Build-vs-buy decisions ·Cross-functional leadership · Roadmap and OKR ownership
I am currently exploring senior engineering leadership opportunities, Director or Senior EM roles,
where I can drive platform strategy, build great teams, and create lasting organizational impact.
