Operate and scale ThousandEyes Federal region infrastructure in a FedRAMP-compliant AWS environment. Design, deploy, and automate cloud-native services, implement IaC, monitor and audit systems, collaborate with security teams to remediate vulnerabilities, participate in 24x7 incident response and capacity planning, and ensure platform reliability, performance, and compliance.

Lead cross-functional initiatives to assess and improve product lifecycle management (PLM), NPI, sustaining, and supply chain processes. Define future-state PLM strategies, analyze data to identify improvements, mitigate risks, drive change management, and facilitate design-thinking sessions to align stakeholders and deliver scalable operational improvements.

Lead design and implementation of entitlements, provisioning, and identity lifecycle systems for an IAM platform. Drive architecture, deliver scalable secure front-end and microservice solutions, mentor engineers, collaborate with product and cross-platform teams, and influence roadmap and SDLC practices emphasizing security, reliability, and AI-assisted development.

Lead large-scale, cross-functional security engineering programs (CI/CD, software supply chain, cloud security, AI-enabled services). Drive execution strategy, delivery plans, risk mitigation, and executive communications. Partner with Product and Engineering to increase adoption and service quality, and standardize program management practices for predictable, measurable outcomes.

Own and roadmap AI Knowledge Graph capabilities connecting telemetry, assets, topology, metadata, and business entities to power semantic search, RAG, contextual analytics, and agentic AI. Partner with engineering to deliver schemas, ontologies, ingestion/enrichment pipelines, and scalable data processing. Drive discovery, launch, adoption, and measurable platform success across Security, Observability, and IT.

Customer-facing technical lead for Cisco Secure Services Edge (SSE). Own escalations, deployment best practices, runbooks, and customer-engineering translation for large enterprise accounts. Diagnose issues using packet captures, logs, and scripts; feed product requirements back into engineering; and support global rollouts and adoption.

Design and evolve distributed search and analytics systems for the Splunk platform. Lead complex engineering efforts from design through delivery, improve performance and reliability, mentor engineers, collaborate cross-functionally, and work with customers to resolve production issues.

Lead end-to-end design of AI-enabled networking experiences: convert ambiguous AI opportunities into product concepts, prototypes, and shipped features. Define AI-first interactions, data and telemetry requirements, reusable UX patterns for control and explainability, and partner with platform, engineering, and research teams to deliver trustworthy, measurable intelligence features.

Lead design and qualification of high-reliability DC power supplies and system-level power architectures for data center and networking platforms. Collaborate with layout, mechanical, thermal, test, supply chain, manufacturing, and compliance teams to deliver, qualify, and ship robust power solutions while resolving EMI/EMC and regulatory issues.

Lead design and optimization of finance and procurement applications for manufacturing components. Architect end-to-end workflows (capital procurement, asset accounting, standard costs), enable P2P/O2C systems, drive period-close and AP/AR improvements, ensure SOX compliance, and collaborate on automation and analytics-driven transformation.
