I build operational systems that help technical teams scale—and I'm deepening my cloud skills to bridge business and engineering even better.

5+ years leading program operations, enablement, and performance systems in high-volume environments. Now actively building AWS and cloud infrastructure skills to become a stronger technical program leader. This site? Built and deployed on AWS infrastructure I configured myself.

About

I've spent the last 5+ years building and running operational programs that help teams perform at scale. Most recently, I own the full "nesting" program at Ignition—the critical bridge between training and production for new call-center agents. That means designing frameworks, coaching SMEs, building performance dashboards, and using data to drive retention and productivity improvements.

Here's what I realized: the best Program Managers in tech don't just understand people and process—they understand systems and infrastructure. So I'm building those skills, starting with AWS. This site is my first public cloud project: hosted on S3, delivered via CloudFront, secured with ACM, and wired to a custom domain I manage end-to-end. It's proof I can learn fast and apply technical concepts to real problems.

My goal? Become a Technical Program Manager who bridges operational thinking with cloud infrastructure—someone who can scope technical work, speak fluently with engineers, and build systems that scale teams and products.
