Engineering @ Eightfold.ai | Senior Engineering Leader | Scaled Cloud Platforms | DevSecOps | GenAI for Productivity | SaaS & Observability-First Systems

About

I’m an engineering leader with 18+ years of experience building and scaling cloud-native platforms across SaaS, logistics, health-tech, inventory and factory management systems. I’ve led cross-functional orgs of 20+, driven DevSecOps and observability-first practices, and aligned engineering with business strategy to deliver real outcomes—like reducing cloud infrastructure costs by 35% while improving system reliability and velocity. I’ve built and optimized CI/CD pipelines, introduced risk-aware release frameworks, and implemented scalable system architectures that support product growth. I care deeply about building engineering cultures grounded in ownership, clarity, and execution. Recently, I’ve also been experimenting with GenAI to enhance developer productivity—automating workflows, streamlining note-taking, and reducing context-switching across teams. I’m now exploring senior leadership roles where I can drive strategy, mentor leaders, and help scale high-impact platforms with speed and purpose.
