## About

IT executive and technology leader with full-stack depth and full P&L experience. I’ve led cross-functional teams of developers, designers, and project managers; delivered secure, scalable platforms on AWS and Azure; and translated business goals into roadmaps, budgets, and standards. I bring hands-on engineering (MySQL, Oracle, PHP, Python, AWS) together with strategy, client negotiation, and mentorship.
