With over two decades of experience in large-scale Azure platform engineering and digital modernization, I specialize in architecting secure, automated cloud foundations for Fortune 500 enterprises. My goal is to bridge the gap between high-level vision and technical execution, delivering Zero Trust security and AI-integrated solutions that ensure operational resilience and measurable business growth.

Currently, I serve as Director – Cloud Engineer Principal at Charles Schwab. In this role, I serve as the Leader and Product Owner for the Azure Cloud Platform, defining the roadmap and governance for a secure, scalable ecosystem. Leading a cross-functional team of cloud engineers, I focus on enabling seamless adoption of Azure across enterprise application teams. My work is defined by technical rigor—whether I am architecting Zero Trust models or implementing FinOps practices, I ensure our infrastructure is functional, cost-optimized, and secure.

My background spans pivotal roles at Kiewit, Capgemini, and Xome, where I built resilient cloud-native platforms and spearheaded automation initiatives.

Beyond the boardroom, I am deeply committed to the tech community as a recognized thought leader. I am a 6-time Microsoft MVP (Azure & AI Foundry), a Fellow of the British Computer Society (BCS), an Official Member of the Forbes Technology Council, and an IEEE Senior Member. I am passionate about mentoring the next generation of engineers and actively share my insights as a speaker, blogger, and community leader.
