01 About

From the operations floor to the architecture board.

I started in 2011 as a Technical Analyst at Innodata, scripting automations for global publishers. Since 2013 at RR Donnelley I’ve turned manual operations into software, from process specialist to leading R&D automation to engineering the platforms myself. Today, as Senior Tech Lead, I lead cross-functional teams across DevOps, cloud architecture and GenAI automation.
