About

I build and scale platform products at the intersection of payments, data infrastructure, and ML/AI — combining technical depth with strategic instincts to ship things that compound in value. At Costco Travel, I own the global Booking & Payments Platform — a large-scale consumer-facing system spanning travel bookings, payment flows, PCI-DSS compliance, and partner integrations across international markets. My work ranges from 3DS authentication strategy and PSP API contracts to NPS telemetry pipelines, partner ISV enablement, and global market launches. Before that, at Walmart Global Tech, I led supply chain data platform strategy — owning a multi-year roadmap to centralize fulfillment data, shipping an ML-powered packaging recommendation engine, and integrating computer vision into automation workflows across a large fulfillment network. I'm most energized by platform bets that don't just solve today's problem — they create infrastructure others build on. I bring a product mindset grounded in technical fluency: API architecture, distributed systems, ML pipelines, and compliance design.
