Executive CTO specializing in AI, cloud platforms, and scaling SaaS products

21y exp

“NYC-based startup founder/CTO who sold products to Omnicom and Sprinklr, then built an AI-powered cultural insights engine inside Omnicom using AWS Lambda + ML to process ~1M items/day and reached ~$1MM ARR in year one. Former senior leader at Sprinklr managing 200+ people globally, delivering enterprise martech solutions with SLAs and high-reliability social data pipelines (Twitter firehose).”

“Enterprise cloud/SaaS customer success leader who owned a strategic $102M Azure commitment end-to-end, rescuing a Kubernetes migration by formalizing Sev A/B triage/escalation ownership and executive governance. Drove measurable outcomes including restored executive confidence and consumption growth from $1M to $2M/month (~30% adoption growth) by tying stabilization milestones to migration velocity, forecasting, and expansion strategy.”

“McKinsey practitioner who built and deployed production LLM systems for consultants/clients, including a Power BI-integrated multi-agent chatbot (RAG + text-to-SQL + formatting) with custom Python orchestration, verification loops, and a 100+ case eval set achieving ~95% consistency. Also delivered a taxonomy-mapper agent that standardized inconsistent labeling for C-suite stakeholders, cutting a process from >2 weeks to <30 minutes through demos and business-focused communication.”

“Built and productionized a real-time enterprise RAG pipeline to improve factual accuracy and reduce LLM hallucinations by grounding responses in constantly changing internal knowledge bases (policies, manuals, FAQs). Experienced in orchestrating end-to-end ML workflows (Airflow/Kubernetes), handling messy multi-format data with schema enforcement (Pydantic/Hydra), and maintaining freshness via streaming incremental embeddings plus batch refresh. Also delivers applied ML solutions with non-technical teams (marketing/CRM) for segmentation and personalized engagement.”

“Former Special Assistant at the National Security Council with experience supporting senior federal executives and handling national-security-sensitive information. Helped stand up and standardize operations for a large-scale refugee resettlement effort (60,000 people), creating an executive-driven exception/escalation process and partnering with dev and data teams to prioritize agile sprint work and improve reporting accuracy.”

“P&G operator who is also building and selling an AI receptionist (voice agent) SaaS for healthcare/service clinics, using EHR + calendar API compatibility to target accounts and letting the Voice AI run parts of the demo to prove value. Has already closed and deployed to two clients in the last two months, with production impact via reduced front-desk overhead and automated scheduling/FAQs, and brings a structured, scalable deployment/process mindset from global WMS rollouts.”

“Built and shipped an LLM-powered data quality assistant that generates maintainable validation checks from metadata while executing validations via Great Expectations, exposed through FastAPI and integrated into Airflow-managed pipelines. Emphasizes production reliability (structured outputs, guardrails, monitoring, versioning, human review) and works closely with compliance/operations teams to deliver clear, auditable, user-friendly AI outputs.”

Senior Machine Learning Engineer specializing in production ML and predictive analytics

Los Angeles, CA7y exp

“ML/AI engineering leader who has owned end-to-end production systems from experimentation through deployment, monitoring, and iteration at meaningful scale. They describe running a 1M+ records/day prediction platform with 99.9% availability, shipping a RAG-based conversational AI feature for 50,000 active users, and consistently improving precision, latency, reliability, and cost with measurable business impact.”

“DevOps/SRE focused on cloud-based distributed systems, with strong hands-on Kubernetes production experience (microservices deployments, Helm, probes, resource tuning, CI/CD and Docker build standardization). Demonstrated end-to-end troubleshooting across application, infrastructure, and networking layers—e.g., isolating degraded storage via node disk I/O metrics and restoring performance by draining the node and replacing the volume. Builds Python automation for operational reliability, including scheduled Kubernetes secrets rotation integrated with an external secret manager.”

Director-level Data Platform & Analytics Engineering Leader specializing in distributed systems

Irvine, CA31y exp

“Entrepreneurially minded builder focused on proving architecture concepts via minimal demo prototypes for marketing. Has hands-on experience improving an A/B experimentation framework by interviewing stakeholders, identifying system limits and bottlenecks, and defining success criteria to scale experimentation and speed up analysis.”

“Led the end-to-end pilot of Microsoft Viva Insights at Mars Inc., combining executive stakeholder management, IT/technical coordination, and data-analysis-driven rollout to drive adoption and expand the pilot into broader implementation. Also set up PMO and cross-functional operating rhythms for a multi-geography manufacturing transformation, including surfacing and resolving critical trade compliance risks.”
