- Executive Engineering Leadership: Proven experience leading large, distributed engineering organizations (managing managers) within complex, high-scale platform environments.
- Deep Production Expertise: A track record of owning critical production systems. You understand the realities of running distributed systems at scale, including incident response, traffic management, capacity planning, and cloud infrastructure costs.
- Platform Engineering Acumen: Deep familiarity with large-scale distributed systems, along with various delivery models including containerized and Kubernetes-based platforms, infrastructure-as-code, and the operational challenges of supporting multi-tenant SaaS alongside diverse self-managed (Omnibus/OAK) deployments.
