Summary
I empower organizations to leverage Edge & AI innovations, achieving tangible business results for enterprises in retail, manufacturing, transportation, logistics, and energy -- with a strong, disciplined foundation in engineering, professional services, product management, and technical sales. At Google, I played a key role in strategically readying for retail sales the Google Distributed Cloud (GDC) Connected offering, Google's new edge companion to Google Cloud Platform. As a Google-managed service, GDC modernizes and simplifies edge compute operations, driving innovation acceleration with containerized applications and on-site AI while supporting legacy app investments. Key sectors like retail, manufacturing, telecoms, energy, and other edge-based businesses now can take advantage of the benefits of the cloud at the frontier of their operations, supported by Google SRE. Previously at Amazon, I led the AWS ProServe global IoT Edge team, focusing on using IoT and AI to boost operational efficiency and competitive advantage for our enterprise-scale customers in manufacturing, retail, energy, agriculture, telecoms, transportation, and logistics. As Principal Product Manager Technical in AWS IoT Services, I spearheaded the development of a service simplifying the creation and certification of scalable IoT solutions for the AWS Marketplace. In our company operations, I contributed as a certified Senior Event Speaker (re:Invent, AWS Summits), Product Management Doc Bar Raiser, and ProServe Manager Program Trainer. Passionate about sharing knowledge, I teach distributed systems design, computer science, and CPU/GPU architecture to cultivate future engineering leaders and enjoy speaking on computer science, innovation, and startups. Expertise: Google Cloud, AWS, Cloud/Edge Architecture, Software Product Design, AI/ML, Big Data, Information Security, Technical Partner Development.
