Skills
The capabilities I’m known for — spanning data platforms, security, cost governance, and executive program leadership.
Signature Strengths
Practical strengths built through delivery — focused on outcomes, tradeoffs, and mechanisms that scale.
FinOps & Cost Governance
Showback/chargeback models, cost attribution across shared platforms, forecasting, and cost-as-a-design-input tradeoffs.
Large-Scale Data Platforms
Data lakes, telemetry pipelines, retention policy design, lifecycle automation, and query platform optimization.
Security & Risk Programs
Insider risk telemetry, detection and response workflows, governance controls, and security program execution.
Executive Communication
Decision-ready narratives for senior leaders: crisp options, tradeoffs, and clear asks tied to measurable outcomes.
Cross-Org Program Leadership
Alignment across product, engineering, finance, and ops — especially when ownership, funding, or priorities are unclear.
Operational Excellence
Metrics, reviews, alerting, and mechanisms that drive predictable delivery and measurable quality improvements.
