Atlanta, Georgia, United States
Senior Technical Program Manager and delivery leader with 15+ years driving enterprise cloud transformation, AI/ML programs, and large-scale technical delivery for Fortune 500 clients across enterprise technology, financial services, wellness SaaS, and telecom — plus high-growth tech consultancies (Caylent, Accenture, CoreBTS). I run programs at the intersection of executive strategy and hands-on technical execution — AWS migrations, infrastructure-as-code (Terraform), EKS/EMR modernization, Heroku-to-AWS cutovers, Salesforce/Certinia deployments, and Generative AI initiatives. I've owned $500K–$10M+ portfolios, coordinated globally distributed teams across 30+ countries, and built the delivery methodologies (Caylent Crews, BPCOE) that scaled my company from boutique consultancy to enterprise SI. What sets me apart from most program leaders: I build. Outside my Caylent role, I'm the founder and solo engineer of GradLink — a production PWA (React 19 + FastAPI + MongoDB) serving 1,100+ HBCU alumni, with full Firebase auth, admin tooling, AI-assisted features, and a migration off AirTable that I architected and shipped end-to-end. I think about systems, data flow, and developer velocity the same way I think about programs. Where I Fit Best: • Senior / Principal TPM and Director-level Program Management roles at AI-native, cloud, or platform companies • Owning multi-team programs that ship technical product at scale • Environments that value technical fluency in a program leader, not just stakeholder management Strengths: Technical Program Management · AWS & Azure Cloud Migration · AI/ML Program Delivery · Generative AI · SAFe / Agile / Scrum · Executive Stakeholder Management · PMO & Delivery Methodology · Multi-Region Global Delivery · Salesforce / Certinia / Workday SaaS Implementations Certifications: AWS Cloud Practitioner · SAFe · MBA (UGA Terry) · BA Morehouse · PMP (August 2026)
Founded GradLink (formerly SpelHouseJobs.com) — a production PWA serving 1,100+ HBCU alumni from Spelman and Morehouse Colleges. Built and shipped end-to-end as the sole engineer. Stack: React 19 · FastAPI · MongoDB · Firebase Authentication · Resend · PWABuilder What I built (solo): • 21+ production pages including alumni directory, mentorship matching, jobs board, marketplace, and admin tooling • Full-stack PWA architecture with offline support and mobile-first design • Firebase Auth migration from AirTable for 1,100+ users • Custom admin dashboard with photo uploads, email invites, and HBCU verification bypass • AI-assisted features and workflows • Production deployments to GoGradlink.com Why it matters: I think about systems, data flow, and developer velocity the same way I think about programs. Building this independently keeps me close to the technical reality my engineering teams operate in — APIs, schemas, deployments, observability, user feedback loops. Validated by 1,200+ real alumni users.
