I built the foundational engines of the AI revolution. With 25+ years of experience, my career is defined by scaling complex systems—from architecting the mission-critical software powering state-level public safety E911 centers to managing a $3.5B+ AI infrastructure portfolio for the world’s leading hyperscalers.
