Engineering leader and principal architect with over 22 years building resilient, secure, automated infrastructure across AWS, Azure, and hybrid clouds. His career runs from hands-on network engineering through engineering management to principal architecture, with one consistent thread: scalable high-availability platforms, compliance codified into the infrastructure itself, and stronger teams left behind.

Most recently he led the global compute platform and Internal Developer Platform strategy for Canvas LMS (55M users/day) at Instructure — cutting environment provisioning time 90%, reducing P1 incidents 4× year over year, and saving $2.5M annually. Earlier, as VP of Engineering at Concentric Sky, he architected the Badgr open-credentials platform, achieved SOC 2 Type II, and led the company to a $25M exit. He is currently a Principal Implementation Engineer at Snowflake.
