Senior Engineering Manager / Fanatics Betting & Gaming

Engineering leadership for systems under real pressure.

Senior Engineering Manager with 20+ years across architecture, platform modernization, and multi-team execution, known for turning complexity into dependable delivery.

My work sits at the intersection of executive alignment, platform strategy, and hands-on technical judgment. I help organizations scale shared systems, raise operational maturity, and build teams that execute cleanly when the stakes are high.

Leadership profile

Strategy, operations, and execution in one lane.

I’m at my best in roles that require business alignment, systems thinking, and calm delivery leadership at the same time.

Strategic leadership

I help senior leaders turn broad priorities into engineering plans, operating models, and technical decisions that can actually hold under growth.

  • Translate business needs into technical direction
  • Shape platform strategy and shared-service governance
  • Create clarity in high-ambiguity environments

Operational scale

My bias is toward systems that improve reliability, release confidence, and organizational efficiency without becoming process theater.

  • Observability, SLOs, and operational ownership
  • Release governance, CI/CD, and rollback safety
  • Higher execution quality with less friction

Team and platform building

I build the structures that let teams contribute safely, move faster, and maintain credibility with both leadership and one another.

  • Mentorship from early-career through senior staff
  • Cross-functional alignment across product and platform groups
  • Standards that strengthen both speed and durability
Selected experience

Current leadership first. Broader trajectory behind it.

The through-line is consistent: stronger operating models, more reliable platforms, and teams that execute with better judgment.
