About
Engineering executive. Product builder. Perpetual learner.
I'm a Vice President of Software Engineering with a strong background in building and scaling enterprise software platforms, leading engineering organizations, and translating business strategy into technology execution.
At Lirio, I lead engineering across a modern cloud-native ecosystem, spanning architecture, platform reliability, security, DevOps, and delivery. A large part of my role is working across engineering, product, data, security, and executive leadership to turn business needs into technical roadmaps. More recently, I've gone deep on AI and agentic platforms: multi-agent orchestration, LangGraph, MCP, AI guardrails, and secure enterprise adoption of AI.
My leadership philosophy is simple: give teams clear outcomes and ownership rather than dictate implementation. Engineering leaders should understand why we're building something, not just how. Platform engineering should make product teams faster, through reusable capabilities, automation, strong developer experience, and sensible standards.
Outside of my day job, I build my own apps. WaterNation AI, my hydration platform with native Android and iOS apps, is the project I'm most proud of. I stay close to the craft because I believe the best engineering leaders never fully stop building.
I hold an MBA from the Wharton School, which sharpened how I think about markets, strategy, and what it actually takes to build companies that scale. I'm building toward a company with Fortune 100 potential, and I want to help make that happen.
