01Recovery transformed
<10 minMade major incidents materially shorter.
Major outages took more than two hours to recover from.
Improved detection, incident command, ownership, and repeatable response—helping bring recovery below ten minutes.
Senior engineering leader · SRE · Cloud platforms
Reliable platforms. Decisive teams.
I lead the teams behind critical cloud platforms. I connect engineering, site reliability engineering, and operations so people can move faster, recover sooner, and own production with clarity.
A brief introduction
Clear decisions.
Reliable platforms.
Selected outcomes
Leadership measured in outcomes.
Publicly shareable examples of reliability transformation, organizational scale, and operational leadership.
02Organizational scope
25+ / $10M+Led a global platform organization.
Global storage engineering and operations, with security and compliance responsibilities.
Directed a 25+ person organization and a $10M+ annual technology portfolio across distributed storage engineering and operations.
03Cloud service readiness
Launch → operateConnected launch readiness to production ownership.
Taking a public cloud storage service from launch preparation into sustained operations.
Led global SRE and incident management, connecting launch readiness to ongoing reliability and production ownership.
Leadership approach
Reliability is an operating model.
The hardest production problems rarely belong to one service. They sit between teams, incentives, handoffs, and decisions.
I build the operating system around the platform: accountable teams, usable signals, durable incident learning, and a clear path from executive intent to engineering action.
Build the organization
Shape teams, decision rights, manager systems, and engineering priorities around the outcomes the platform must deliver.
- Org design
- Manager development
- Strategy to execution
Run production
Create clear ownership across on-call, incident command, service objectives, risk, and post-incident follow-through.
- SRE
- Incident management
- Reliability governance
Transform the platform
Modernize cloud and infrastructure operations without separating delivery speed from reliability, cost, or operational reality.
- Cloud platforms
- OpenShift & Kubernetes
- Operations at scale

01
Engineering leadership
How organization design, decision rights, and management systems shape platform outcomes.
↗02Site reliability engineering
A leadership operating model for production ownership, incidents, learning, and sustainable on-call.
↗03Cloud platform engineering
How platform teams connect product thinking, operability, Kubernetes, OpenShift, and reliable delivery.
↗04Incident management
How prepared command, decisive escalation, and accountable follow-through reduce the cost of failure.
↗05Reliability transformation
How leaders turn reliability from reactive work into a durable operating capability at scale.
↗
Leadership in practice
Make the decision clear. Make ownership visible.
That is how teams move faster without losing control—especially during incidents, platform transitions, and consequential change.
Discuss a leadership mandateExperience · Current work
Leading platform engineering for ROSA HCP.
My focus is the leadership layer around a managed Kubernetes platform: clear production ownership, sustainable on-call, stronger service feedback, and less organizational friction for engineers doing consequential work.
