I’m Director of Engineering, Platform at Tamr, where I lead cloud infrastructure and platform engineering initiatives. I’m also a Part-Time Lecturer at Northeastern University, where I’ve been teaching Master’s-level cloud computing courses since 2017.

I specialize in building scalable cloud platforms with a focus on containers, Kubernetes, and hybrid cloud architectures. My work spans platform engineering, DevOps practices, SRE principles, and cloud-native infrastructure design.

My cloud computing journey began at IBM’s Watson Developer Cloud, where I led Observability and Metering teams. Before that, I started my career at OpenPages (later acquired by IBM), building enterprise governance and risk management solutions.

With over a decade of hands-on cloud computing experience and 15+ years in tech, I’ve seen the industry evolve from traditional infrastructure to cloud-native architectures. This real-world experience is what I bring to Tamr and to the classroom at Northeastern, where I modernized the Cloud Computing curriculum to reflect current industry practices.

I hold a Bachelor of Science in Computer Science from Eastern Michigan University and a Master of Science in Computer Science from Northeastern University.

I am passionate about open source technologies, Linux, automation, DevOps culture, SRE practices, container orchestration, and helping the next generation of engineers build cloud-native solutions.
