Vetted Vice President of Engineerings in the Los Angeles Metro

“Engineering leader who built and scaled a distributed team (Serbia + US) to deliver an internal multi-tenant Kubernetes-based PaaS, moving a large org from manual ops-driven deployments to automated CI/CD with >99.97% uptime and 100% service adoption. Known for culture change (blameless post-mortems, clear intake via ticketing) and security-first platform practices (tenant isolation, Falco) supporting SOC2 compliance; also operates at exec level with stakeholder communication and fundraising.”

“Engineering leader who built and delivered an IoT smart-spaces platform for the self-storage and smart-living domains, translating customer requirements into architecture, capability maps, and a multi-milestone roadmap. Personally stood up missing AI/ML capabilities (including churn prediction) using Databricks (Delta Lake/MLflow), enabling follow-on features like energy optimization and security/anomaly detection. Scaled an org from 20 to 80+ with disciplined Agile planning (Jira Advanced Roadmaps/Confluence) and strong executive/customer-facing leadership during high-stakes customer commitments.”

“Senior engineering leader with experience at Disney and BlackLine who drives business-aligned technology roadmaps through deep Product/Engineering partnership (two-in-a-box) and pragmatic prioritization frameworks. Has led major modernization initiatives—private-to-public cloud migration to GCP with multi-cloud evolution, data-layer performance improvements (Mongo/Redis, caching/query optimization), and tooling upgrades (VSS to GitHub)—while scaling teams with strong quality and accountability culture.”

“Engineering leader with hands-on coding time who has driven major commerce and data-platform transformations: defined goop’s omnichannel strategy, unified payments to Square, and rebuilt real-time NetSuite inventory flows plus forecasting tools. Currently reorganized engineering into Product/Data/Support teams to hit aggressive seasonal roadmaps, and led a data-lake/medallion ELT refactor feeding embedded analytics (Tinybird) with improved reliability and cost efficiency; also accelerates onboarding via AI coding tools in a serverless, event-driven architecture.”

“Founder of TimeTick (timetick.io), an AI-powered diagnostics platform for IoT combining device simulation, automated testing, and real-time monitoring—initially focused on EV charger diagnostics. Former VP of Engineering with a track record of building IoT systems from scratch and applying AI to detect protocol-failure patterns that drive downtime; currently supporting existing customers and converting pilots (with leads like Siemens and ABB) into paid subscriptions.”
