2014 - 2023
Staff Technical Product and Program Manager, Global Infrastructure Group
2022 - 2023
I delivered end-to-end product and program solutions for a $9B HPC and multi-billion ML portfolio. I spearheaded a low-latency, high-bandwidth deployment toolkit for A3 (H100s), C3, and all TPU-lite clusters—unlocking $XB in revenue. By integrating networking signals into supply planning, I saved over $30M per site, delivered 1 GW+ of TPU/GPU capacity (including CME Group’s migration), and built a scalable program model across 200+ FTE.
Senior Technical Lead, Global Infrastructure Group
2017 - 2022
I coordinated R&D Platforms and Capacity Delivery to launch new HW/SW programs that unblocked ~$130M in revenue, halved NPI lifecycle time (from 12 to 9 months), and eliminated thermal violations at scale. By building and leading a 10-person cross-functional team across ML, Compute, Network, and Storage, I drove 2× innovation velocity, optimized OKR-driven resource planning, and established a Fleet-Evolution pipeline to continuously seed and scale breakthrough infrastructure initiatives.
Senior Technical Program Manager, Global Infrastructure Group
2015 - 2017
I earned Google’s Technical Infrastructure Award for migrating 1 million servers across 43 legacy networks by building a unified design-and-deployment framework, led refactors of 400 MW and 800 K-machine fleets, spearheaded the Jupiter X upgrade from 40 G to 100 G/200 G networking and the Aquila low-latency fabric NPI, and engineered materials forecasting and Just-In-Time deployment strategies that accelerated timelines by 30% and saved over $100M.
Program Manager, Global Infrastructure Group
2014 - 2015
I spearheaded Google Cloud’s capacity doubling at launch by developing Automated Cluster Turnups and acceleration tools—earning a Technical Infrastructure Award for operational excellence—and designed optimized server-hall infrastructures to navigate power, space, and cooling constraints. As the resident SME, I led multi-site expansions across Pryor Creek, Council Bluffs, and the Netherlands and overhauled fiber-optic cabling plans to save $3M per site while future-proofing scalability.
2013 - 2014
Mechanical Engineer
2013 - 2014
I directed full-cycle mechanical engineering and design at ARUP, leading landmark projects like the Guggenheim Museum Abu Dhabi and Vaughan Corporate Center Subway Station. By coordinating tightly with architects and multi-disciplinary teams, I delivered each build on time and within budget.
2011 - 2011
Data Center Engineer
2011 - 2011
I represented clients on Facebook’s first colo data-center builds, engineered and patented a scalable cooling system (US9192077) that delivered $5M in annual savings per cluster, and earned a perfect performance evaluation plus a Co-Op of the Year nomination.
