I turn costly, tangled systems into lean ones.

Cloud security automation

A cloud security operation running on manual effort and constant alerts. I came in as Engineering Lead to automate it into steady, hands-off order, and to grow the team that could keep it that way.

• Led the Mphasis engineering team, scaling it from 4 to 20 as the mandate grew.
• Directed OpenStack work, application modelling, and infrastructure automation.
• Automated server-security hardening end to end, replacing manual runbooks with repeatable pipelines.

OpenStack cloud initiative

The signature initiative of my career. Through Accionlabs, I took a major OpenStack cloud project for Rackspace from technical strategy all the way through execution.

• Owned the initiative end to end, closing a multi-million dollar deal for Accionlabs.
• Automated client products through product discovery, cutting delivery cost by 40%.
• Reworked the hiring process, improving it by 50%.

Three energy products, idea to market

An energy business that needed products, not just data. I led three energy data products from idea to market and rebuilt how the team delivered them.

• Ran product costing and ROI analysis that lifted customer signups by 30%.
• Executed an offshore staffing strategy, still running today, cutting hiring cost 70% and raising efficiency 25%.
• Redefined the development lifecycle and AWS architecture, cutting infrastructure cost 30% and accelerating delivery 50%.

Built the product practice in Data & Analytics

A data and analytics group that needed a product discipline. I built the practice and went after the bottlenecks slowing the production pipeline.

• Worked across 35+ stakeholders and collaborated directly with C-suite on business outcomes.
• Shipped products that cut manual effort by 25 hours per month, per employee.
• Established the product practice inside the Data and Analytics group.

Side projects

Two quick ones that show how I think when it is my own money and time on the line.

• Migrated a personal AI system off AWS Elastic Beanstalk to Hetzner in a single day. $400/mo down to $5/mo, with no functionality lost.
• Unfamiliar with German resume norms, built a Python and SMTP system that sent 200 tailored applications. An offer in a month, visa in three days.

Open-source AI systems

Ambitious systems I build and ship in public. No star-chasing, just real architecture, shipped.
