Director-level Engineering Leader specializing in Payments and Financial Services

Edison, New Jersey21y exp

“Senior Director-level engineering leader from Zelle who built a multi-year cloud and use-case expansion roadmap (e.g., SMB and brokerage funding) aligned to an aggressive growth target (from $1.2T to $5T in 5 years). Experienced scaling an engineering org from ~25–30 people into domain-driven pods and leading audit/compliance remediation (OCC, SOC 2, PCI) through security and infrastructure reengineering, including multi-region/multi-zone architecture.”

“Startup-focused technology leader who has supported two startups over ~10 years, including conducting initial M&A/technology-fit research and serving as CTO to build required platforms. Recently automated manual marketing lead processing with agentic AI and drove workflow standardization through user interviews to align teams on a common process.”

“Engineering/product leader in early-stage environments who has repeatedly driven major pivots and scaling efforts: pandemic-era refactor at NameCoach and multi-community expansion at Nolodex (now ~20 communities). Comfortable going from executive roadmap/stakeholder alignment to hands-on implementation (e.g., webhooks), and has led architecture shifts (monolith-to-distributed, Heroku-to-AWS) while managing outsourced/offshore teams through organizational friction.”
