Delivery Manager

AI-enabled delivery for complex enterprise change.

10+ years leading global distributed teams through modernization, migration, and operational transformation.

I help teams move from delivery friction to repeatable execution: clearer operating models, tighter release discipline, lower support drag, and practical AI-assisted workflows with quality and security guardrails.

350+ Legacy API endpoints migrated to Spring Boot with 95% test coverage
Experience

Current role and strengths

The role is delivery leadership first. AI is part of the execution model, not the job title.

Current

Delivery Manager

Aug 2024 - Present

Internal user and entitlements platform for US and Canada clients. Migration from Grails and Groovy to Java Spring Boot on AWS and Postgres. Azure DevOps delivery environment.

  • Lead a distributed team of 8 backend engineers and 2 QA across multiple time zones.

Core strengths

Where I add the most value

  • Modernization delivery: Legacy-to-modern migration with parity discipline and release control.
  • Operational excellence: Faster support response, cleaner ownership, and repeatable runbooks.
  • AI-enabled SDLC: Practical adoption of Claude, ChatGPT, Copilot, and agentic workflows in delivery.
  • Remote-first leadership: Async decision-making, concise communication, and stakeholder alignment without meeting overload.

Supporting material, kept secondary

These pages support the delivery story, but they no longer compete with it on the homepage.
