Director-level Engineering & Program Leader specializing in AI product platforms

San Diego, CA25y exp

“Technical Program Manager and one of three internal "founders" of HP’s Hardware-as-a-Service home printer subscription initiative, spanning DTC shipping, simplified setup, ink replenishment, and warranty coverage. Led roadmap definition/execution, scaled delivery rapidly to 15+ scrum teams (including vendors) with SAFe-like coordination and shared engineering standards, and drove key architecture trade-offs (building an interim subscription management service) to accelerate time-to-market by about a year.”

“Full-stack engineer with experience spanning Amazon IMDb and Northeastern’s NeuroJSON portal, combining consumer product work with complex scientific data applications. Built IMDb’s streaming providers feature—described as the company’s most impactful feature of 2023—and has hands-on experience with React/Angular, GraphQL, AWS, Python services, and production monitoring.”

“Robotics software engineer with Samsung Research America internship experience as primary developer on a real-time dense mapping system producing point clouds, plus a monocular depth-estimation framework using positional data. Hands-on ROS 2 and CAN integration from a University of Michigan autonomous shuttle project, and practical SLAM/motion-planning experience including handling the kidnapped robot problem and Dockerizing ORB-SLAM3 environments.”

“Frontend-focused engineer with 5 years at Shopify building and maintaining internal tooling. Led modernization from ERB/jQuery to React/TypeScript/GraphQL and improved performance on large datasets with server-side pagination. Also delivered an end-to-end search feature with filters, URL-driven state, pagination, and error correction, using strong review/testing and zero-downtime rollout practices.”

“Principal engineer with experience across multiple startups, including direct exposure to VC due diligence and early-stage company strategy. Stands out for making pragmatic product decisions—such as steering a startup away from capital-intensive custom hardware toward mobile applications to validate the business faster and focus on the most valuable software layer.”
