Expertise & Capabilities

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.
