Engineering leader building teams with an AI-first culture.

Building process-driven teams that ship

Hiring, mentoring, and structuring teams so they move fast without breaking each other. From sprint cadence to career ladders, I treat the team itself as the product.

• Leading a 4-person full-stack team at Lumen
• Owns hiring end-to-end: JDs, interviews, decisions
• Previously directed a 5-person team on a multi-million dollar enterprise healthcare project

Building AI-first culture and tooling

Proactively finding ways to use AI to automate and augment workflows across the company. Automated QA, content quality validation, internal tooling — and leading teams through AI pivots without losing engineering discipline.

• Built Claude + Playwright automated QA at Lumen
• Built LLM tooling to audit blog content at scale
• Drove company-wide AI tooling adoption

Make it fast, then make it faster

Full-stack performance optimization from first principles: from browser asset budgets through server concurrency and multi-level caching to data pipelines. I optimize metrics that impact user experience and reduce resource utilization.

• >80% reduction in key-page latency at Lumen
• 74% reduction in server CPU on the same effort
• 78% perf boost + 92% downtime reduction on an ecommerce rebuild
