Resume
Staff software engineer with 15+ years building backend platforms, distributed systems, cloud infrastructure, and security products. Since 2022 I have designed and built the account, organization, and user-domain services for Allergan Aesthetics / AbbVie, which manage accounts across thousands of businesses. Before that, I spent four years as a platform engineer at NS1 on DNS and traffic-management systems used by some of the highest-traffic websites in the world.
I lead through architecture and code. As an architecture SME, fractional CTO/VPE, and technical advisor, I have shaped technical direction across teams, and I have built security products from scratch at early-stage startups.
