I am an engineering leader with over 20 years of experience in building and managing high-performing teams, architecting low-latency, scalable systems, and delivering data-driven solutions across multiple industries, such as digital advertising, financial services, and healthcare. I have a Six Sigma Black Belt certification and a strong combination of business and product skills.

Currently, I am the co-founder and CTO of Nexla, a fundamentally new approach to data management. I designed and built an infinitely scalable, container-based architecture with a continuous intelligence core. Our users get a first-of-its-kind collaborative, self-service system that automates the entire data cycle of integration, preparation, operations, quality, cataloging, discovery, and exchange. My specialties include big data, cloud computing, machine learning, and forecasting models. I also co-authored the first version of the Open RTB Native Advertising spec, a standard for transacting native ads across the programmatic ecosystem.
