In my current role at Paychex, I’ve led the charge on automating CI/CD pipelines and managing release cycles. I work closely with cross-functional teams to ensure our releases are stable, auditable, and scalable. I’m always looking for ways to reduce friction in the release process while improving transparency and quality.
Earlier in my career, I managed infrastructure and web development projects at organizations like Siteworx, WFL BOCES/EduTech, Georgia Tech, and Ketchum. I’ve built and supported middleware systems, migrated legacy applications, and led technical teams through complex platform upgrades. These experiences shaped my approach to problem-solving, team collaboration, and delivering high-impact solutions.
