With over 20 years of deep experience in technology and 14 years leading high-performing teams, I combine hands-on technical expertise with a strong leadership focus on team growth and client success. In my role as Director of Product Development, I drive alignment across our product development portfolio to ensure client objectives are met and growth opportunities are leveraged.Driving collaboration among Product Delivery, Product Management, and other teams, partnering closely with clients to build long-term, value-driven relationships is what keeps me awake. Managing project scopes (SOWs), helping teams in identifying new opportunities, and support business growth with Client Partners, while actively coaching my team on consulting skills, effective communication, and performance excellence, aligning their efforts with company values and client goals have been my close prerogatives.I’ve built my career by creating effective technology designs, aligning tech strategies with business goals, and fostering quality-driven outcomes. Today, I lead Senior Managers and Managers in delivering high-impact solutions and work closely with clients to cultivate long-term, trusted relationships. I’m passionate about collaboration across Product Delivery, Product Management, and UX teams to bring clients lasting value, while managing risks and exploring new business opportunities.Curious and adaptable by nature, I’m always eager to tackle new challenges and support a culture of continuous learning within my team. My experience spans diverse domains—Insurance, Banking, Trade Exchange, Commodity Trading, and Health/Pharma—allowing me to navigate industry standards such as EHR, PHI, DICOM, HIPAA, and HL7 with ease.My technical background remains a core strength. Java is my first love, complemented by expertise in frameworks like ReactJS, AngularJS, Microsoft technologies, and specialized tools like Documentum. My toolkit includes Trello, JIRA, CI/CD pipelines, source control, IDEs, application servers, and both SQL and NoSQL databases. While my focus today is on strategic direction, I’m always ready to dive into the details when needed to ensure alignment with business and client needs.Outside work, I enjoy contributing to the open-source community, exploring Linux CLI, and making Windows systems run efficiently. Photography, DIY electronics, and IoT (especially Pi-based projects) are hobbies that keep me inspired and hands-on.
