San Francisco, California, United States
As a seasoned engineering executive with 20+ years of impact at Oracle, Amazon, LinkedIn, and as Head of Engineering at State Affairs (Series B, backed by Khosla Ventures and Founders Fund), I specialize in building high-performance engineering organizations and delivering transformative AI/ML-powered products at scale. At State Affairs, I built the engineering org from the ground up—driving innovation through Generative AI and machine learning to launch consumer-facing experiences across all 50 states. Previously, at LinkedIn and Amazon, I led engineering for multi-billion-dollar business lines with sub-second latency, 99.9% uptime, and direct revenue impact in the hundreds of millions. My leadership spans global, cross-functional teams (300+ FTEs), full-stack and data-intensive systems, and enterprise-grade SaaS products. I also launched widely adopted open-source platforms like DataHub (for metadata and GDPR compliance) and Dr. Elephant (for Spark optimization), advancing compliance, reliability, and discovery across data platforms. I lead with a hands-on, no-ego approach—balancing vision with execution. I thrive in both the 0→1 and 10→100 stages and seek out opportunities that combine deep technical challenges with meaningful business growth. I hold a Computer Science degree from BITS, Pilani and an Executive MBA in Marketing. I’m always open to conversations about ambitious tech missions, leadership opportunities, or collaborations.
