About Me
A resourceful IT professional dedicated to bridging technology and user experience for high-impact, scalable solutions.
My Journey
With over 15 years of success in multi-tier application design and Agile project development, I've navigated the complexities of the Finance, Healthcare, and E-commerce sectors. Currently, as a senior engineering leader at the world’s largest retail company, I spearhead the Health and Wellness technology portfolio, encompassing Pharmacy and Vision Centers.
My experience includes architecting AI-driven, customer-centric platforms—enabling innovations from self-service prescription refills and two-hour home deliveries to virtual try-ons for custom eyewear using computer vision and OCR technologies powered by LLMs. These AI-driven solutions have significantly improved customer and patient engagement.
Previously, as Senior Vice President at Citibank, I led retail credit card innovations, notably integrating “Apply & Buy” with top retail partners. I thrive on implementing new ideas across distributed systems, microservices, and modern web stacks, building high-performing teams, and driving measurable business outcomes.
