One pattern, run three times: unify the fragmented.

Led the HCM Solutions division: 150 global engineers delivering ~$200M in revenue (~55% of company total) through Thoma Bravo ownership and the 2022 acquisition by Roper Technologies. Partnered with the executive team on technology strategy, AI direction, and M&A — technology lead on Frontline's three most recent acquisitions, and in quarterly sessions with board members. Joined in 2017 to stabilize the flagship Absence & Time platform ($57M in revenue, ~70% of US K-12 schools), which was failing under peak traffic: delivered stability in 3–6 months, sustained 99.98% uptime, then executed on an EY-Parthenon $40M Time & Attendance opportunity as the flagship grew from $57M to $100M. Modernized the monolith onto AWS serverless and microservices — Kafka event-driven foundation, strangler-fig pattern, three UIs converged into one — without customer disruption, cutting run-costs ~10%. Built the offshore org from a 2018 pilot to 170+ engineers in India, instituting delivery standards, automated CI/CD, and an engineering KPI dashboard with DORA metrics. Promoted from Senior Manager to VP across four progressive roles.

Carried the Connectiv platform and team through nearly four years of post-acquisition integration with no disruption to delivery. Owned end-to-end integration of the acquired team, codebase, and roadmap into the parent org while delivering against enterprise commitments. Earned the M&A integration playbook now central to my leadership approach — managing competing roadmaps and cultural mismatches without sinking the acquired product.

Owned the entire engineering organization — front-end, back-end, architecture, and DBA — through Connectiv's growth phase and the lead-up to its successful acquisition by WeDo. Owned the technical roadmap, architecture, hiring, and delivery for the SaaS platform serving enterprise customers.
