Senior Engineering Manager at Porter | Leading Product, Platform & AI Engineering | Scaling Teams & Systems

About

I'm a Senior Engineering Manager with over 13 years of experience leading platform engineering at scale. At Porter, I head the Core Platforms vertical, driving the engineering of foundational systems that power company-wide products and operations. My expertise spans distributed systems, cloud architecture (AWS/GCP), platform reliability, and organizational enablement through internal tooling, observability, and automation. I've led cross-functional teams through major platform modernization initiatives, reduced infrastructure and support costs significantly, and improved time-to-market through internal feature management systems. Known for blending technical depth with strategic thinking, I collaborate closely with product, design, and operations to ensure engineering is aligned with business goals. I believe in building empowered teams, fostering clear ownership, and architecting systems that evolve with scale and complexity.
