Engineering leader, API Guru and AI architect with exhaustive experience designing and building scalable platforms that serve millions. Passionate about developer experience, secure API design, and leveraging AI to create intelligent, context-aware systems.
AI & API Cloud Platform Solutions Architect at Prudential Financial.
I'm part of the team migrating thousands of APIs from Apigee to Kong — a massive undertaking where success means nobody notices anything changed. My focus is building the tooling, automation, and governance standards that let us move at scale while minimizing collateral damage.
The work I'm most proud of is less visible: unified auth across the enterprise, observability that actually helps teams debug issues, and governance that doesn't slow people down. The goal is making secure, well-designed APIs the path of least resistance — not something developers have to fight for.
Core technical competencies and specializations.
Enterprise API strategy, OpenAPI specs, OAuth2/OIDC, developer experience, and SDK generation across Java, Python, Node.js, Go, .NET, Ruby, and PHP.
Event-driven architecture with Kafka, data pipelines with Snowflake and Databricks, real-time analytics, and lakehouse architecture patterns.
AWS, Azure, GCP, Kubernetes, Docker, Terraform, microservices architecture, and cloud-native application development.
Open banking, fintech platforms, regulatory compliance, secure transaction systems, and enterprise integration patterns.
Key accomplishments across major organizations.
Led enterprise API strategy for Chase's Open Banking platform, enabling billions in annual payments. Authored firm-wide OpenAPI specifications and reduced client onboarding time by 150% while cutting product time to market by 50%.
Designed resilient architectures for global financial transaction systems, introducing Kafka-based event-streaming and leading cloud migration initiatives to AWS and GCP.
Designed UX and led front-end engineering for New York's Obamacare platform. Scaled to 2M users in 6 months and has served over 5 million New Yorkers with essential healthcare.
Co-founded and built a full-stack social engagement platform using MERN stack, Docker, and Azure. Integrated OpenAI, Google, and Instagram APIs to drive user growth.
The journey from public policy to engineering leadership.
My career has been defined by building platforms that serve millions while maintaining the highest standards of security and reliability. From leading the Open Banking initiative at JP Morgan Chase to architecting global financial transaction systems at DTCC, I've focused on creating developer-first experiences that scale.
What drives me is the intersection of technical excellence and business impact—whether that's enabling billions in payments, serving millions of healthcare users, or building the next generation of AI-powered platforms. I've led teams at Marsh McLennan, ByTandym, Disney/ABC News, and Williams Sonoma, always with a focus on empowering developers and delivering measurable results.
As a graduate of Syracuse University's prestigious Maxwell School of Citizenship and Public Affairs, I bring a unique perspective to technology leadership—one that values both innovation and societal impact. This foundation has informed my approach to building platforms that not only meet technical requirements but also serve broader organizational goals.
