He delivered multi-account landing zones with promotion rules, rollback contracts, and observability frameworks. His CI/CD modernisation efforts reduced lead time and change-failure rate by approximately 30%. At Crowley, he led a multi-year program to standardise the cloud foundation and build a shipping-data platform, developing hardened AWS reference architectures with reusable IaC modules and unified observability. Earlier roles at Anaplan, Coupang, and Capital One focused on building event-driven CI/CD systems, progressive delivery strategies, and serverless platforms that scaled across multiple clouds and business units.
