Biography

Technology strategy and operating model leader driving large‑scale transformation across Fortune 500 enterprises and research‑intensive institutions. I specialize in building the platforms, governance models, and cross‑organizational delivery practices that help complex, federated environments adopt AI, modernize cloud foundations, and deliver digital products reliably at scale.

As Director of UCLA’s Digital Foundry, I lead an internal strategy and modernization function shaping institution‑wide direction across cloud modernization, AI enablement, enterprise architecture, and product operating models. I operate across a 500+ technologist ecosystem spanning engineering, infrastructure, security, data, finance, and research computing, aligning federated teams without formal authority.

Focus Areas
• Operating Model Transformation: Aligning 25+ product pods around shared standards, agile practices, and unified delivery frameworks.
• Cloud & Platform Modernization: Defining multi‑cloud architecture, standardizing platform capabilities, and driving adoption of platform‑as‑a‑product across distributed teams.
• AI Enablement & Scalable Compute: Productizing access to GenAI, agentic systems, domain‑specific models, and GPU/TPU-backed compute through demand‑based platform patterns.
• Enterprise‑Scale Execution: Translating executive vision into actionable roadmaps, navigating ambiguity, and orchestrating cross‑functional delivery across complex stakeholder landscapes.

Before UCLA, I advised Fortune 500 CIOs as part of Deloitte’s Technology Strategy practice, shaping cloud, AI, and modernization agendas for global enterprises. Earlier roles at UC Irvine, UCF, and Huron strengthened my experience across higher education, healthcare, and public sector transformation.

Across every role, the throughline is consistent: I build the technical and organizational systems that enable large, federated institutions to modernize, adopt AI, and operate with clarity at scale.
