About
I build clarity, control, and momentum where complexity is the norm. With a B.Tech in Computer Science and 20+ years spanning engineering leadership and global delivery, I've led teams from 12-person squads to 70+ engineer organizations, managed $80M+ portfolios, and modernized platforms from on-prem to AWS and OpenShift. Whether rebuilding a PMO operating model or driving a cloud modernization, I specialize in turning ambiguous situations into disciplined, repeatable systems—aligning engineering, product, finance, and services around outcomes that matter.
Direct, structured, and outcome-first. Empathetic with high standards. I'll tell you the truth, even when it's inconvenient—because that's how results happen.
