Professional Summary
Director of Software Engineering with 9+ years at UPS leading mission-critical engineering portfolios across Network Planning & Optimization and the Enterprise Business Cockpit. Currently driving EBC, an AI-driven, agent-orchestrated decision intelligence platform that moves the enterprise from static dashboards to plain-language business outcomes. Known for scaling teams, modernizing cloud and data platforms, building reusable agentic AI foundations, and translating complex engineering into executive-ready delivery roadmaps.
Professional Experience
Lead engineering execution and delivery for EBC, a conversational analytics platform turning enterprise data into plain-language outcomes across Finance, Marketing, Labor, Payroll, Benefits, and Contracts.
- Directed a multi-agent architecture anchored by domain agents, a shared semantic layer, Stardog knowledge graphs, Master Coordinator orchestration, and deployment quality gates.
- Drove agile delivery and release planning at scale across multiple product pods serving distinct business domains — Finance, Marketing, Labor, Payroll, Benefits, and Contracts — aligning program-increment planning, UAT readiness, production sequencing, and cross-domain data dependencies.
- Shipped domain agents including a natural-language Contracts Agent, Benefits Agent (RBAC masked/unmasked access over 17 years of data), and Payroll Agent with row-level security.
- Elevated the monthly Performance Forecast Review (PFR) scorecard into a C-suite KPI intelligence application — replacing static spreadsheets with a live, queryable, scenario-enabled decision surface for real-time executive performance tracking.
- Partnered with business leaders, IBM watsonx, and Microsoft to accelerate production readiness with governance and responsible-AI controls.
- Promoted reusable agent patterns (RAG, Document Intelligence, Domain Orchestrator, Scenario Planning) supporting an enterprise roadmap toward 200+ agents.
Owned the full engineering lifecycle for NPOP — a mission-critical suite driving network planning, flow writing, contingency publication, and simulation across the global ground network.
- Re-architected the proposal engine for a ~270% throughput gain in processing transportation plan changes — speeding instruction delivery to automated sortation across 3,000+ North American facilities.
- Delivered ~$1.1M in infrastructure cost avoidance through Couchbase architecture and resource optimization.
- Completed GCP IaaS migration for STAR Engine simulators (standalone IC + Java Wrapper) with dynamic scale up/down; leveraged ~$500K in cloud credits for burst-capacity and work-stoppage modeling.
- Delivered a Zero-Trust Service Mesh across the NPOP portfolio with no production disruption, hardening platform security.
- Led modernization of a legacy .NET transportation-planning suite onto a unified Java / Angular / Kubernetes platform — consolidating siloed publication systems and migrating CI/CD to Azure DevOps Services.
- Implemented Dynatrace APM dashboards and canonical UI logging with LLM integration for AI-driven observability and diagnostics.
- Increased the resolution of the transportation-network model, enabling more granular, customer- and service-specific network planning and optimization.
Signature Leadership Contributions
- Founded UPS's first Quarterly Innovation Summit across Network Planning, Ground Transportation, and Automotive.
- Founded an AI Community of Practice driving enterprise AI adoption across SRE, CI/CD, FinOps, QA automation, software development, and agile delivery.
- Led the Digital Innovation Townhall and delivered a quarterly webinar series for the IE Engineering Development Program.
- Managed a major vendor staff transition (~70%) while protecting delivery momentum and production stability.
