About
In my current role at Red Ventures, I am responsible for leading a group of 60+ engineers with our multi-cloud strategy. I have successfully managed the migration cloud infrastructure for 12 brands and several third-party integrations for the acquisition of the CNet Media group into Red Ventures. I have also championed upskilling and adoption of GCP across Red Ventures, as well as integrations with AWS for the CNet Group to move into a hybrid cloud model. I have a strong track record of success in leading and managing software engineering teams. I am an excellent communicator and have a proven ability to build and motivate teams. I am also a strategic thinker and have a deep understanding of the latest technologies and trends in the software engineering field.
