Leading a 50+ engineer org across platform, product, and SRE — responsible for technical vision,
org health, security posture, and business-aligned roadmap execution.
→ Architected and executed full platform modernization to microservices and cloud-native
infrastructure; embedded observability, SRE discipline, and on-call culture that improved
uptime and halved incident response time
→ Drove org-wide CI/CD adoption and release automation — reduced lead time for changes and
improved deployment confidence, enabling teams to ship multiple times daily with safety
→ Embedded AI into engineering operations: anomaly-based incident detection (−10% MTTR),
Copilot/Cursor rollout (+30% productivity), AI capacity forecasting (−20% cloud spend)
→ Managed multimillion-dollar engineering budget; negotiated vendor contracts and redirected
savings into platform capability and team growth
→ Integrated AppScan, Nessus, OWASP ZAP, and Dynatrace into CI/CD pipeline — established
security scanning as a release gate, not an afterthought
→ Partnered with product, design, and commercial leadership to prioritize capabilities that
improved customer satisfaction by 15%

11-year progression from Engineering Manager to leading product engineering for VantagePoint —
Unisyss flagship omni-channel enterprise platform.
→ Delivered multi-tenant, multi-lingual VantagePoint portal (web, tablet, mobile) from concept to
global deployment; owned engineering, design, and L3 support end-to-end
→ Built configurable Liferay portal that reduced client onboarding time by 50% and migrated 29
clients from Oracle — with zero data loss and minimal disruption
→ Led COTS-to-open-source migration realizing ~70% cost savings; replaced third-party KM tools
with in-house solution saving ~$100K annually per client
→ Scaled infrastructure to support 3× user growth through architecture improvements and
proactive vendor negotiation; reduced operational costs by 10%
→ Applied SiteMinder-based authentication and access control hardening across the enterprise
portal estate — early adoption of what would become standard secure-SDLC practice
→ Built mentorship pipelines and structured hiring programs that increased team retention by
30% and diversity by 40% over 5 years
