Staff Technical Program Manager 04/2020 – Present
Verizon · Boston, MA
  • Data Platform & AI Discovery: Identified a critical silent network failure affecting 40% of devices by integrating GCP, Splunk, and LLM-based analysis into a unified diagnostic view. Led remediation restoring device availability by 90% on affected units. Developed installer retraining program based on root-cause findings, eliminating recurring deployment failures.
  • Portfolio & Strategic Leadership: Owned end-to-end leadership of an $8.38B program that launched a market-disrupting 5G broadband solution. Identified and pitched a $200M vertical product opportunity, leading a pilot program to validate revenue potential.
  • Process Optimization & Velocity: Accelerated time-to-market by removing 90,000 engineering hours through process re-engineering and standardization. Established program review and prioritization cadence resulting in measurable efficiency gains and faster revenue generation.
  • Cross-Functional Execution: Led complex cross-functional programs managing scope, vetting new requests, and driving technical consensus to hit cost, schedule, and feature targets. Mitigated dependencies across hardware and software teams, accelerating product launch by 3 weeks.
  • Internal Tooling & Automation: Built a commissioning file generator on GCP (BigQuery/SQL) cutting deployment time by 30 min/node (40% reduction). Developed API integration eliminating manual swivel-chair processes, saving 10+ actions/incident. Reduced redundant GCP compute costs by 15% through workflow standardization.
  • AI-Augmented Program Intelligence: Architected and built an agentic TPM intelligence platform using Python, local LLMs (Ollama), MCP servers for tool-connected data gathering and API access, and DAG-orchestrated pipelines for multi-source data aggregation, enabling natural language analysis and automated decision support across job market, program, and operational data, returning 5% of available bandwidth for critical work.
  • Executive Communication: Owned executive-level reporting on program status, risks, and solutions, ensuring alignment from engineering teams to senior leadership across a matrixed $8.38B program.
Network Operations Manager 06/2019 – 04/2020
Verizon · Boston, MA
  • Directed and developed 8 Network Engineers through trust-based leadership, regular coaching, ad-hoc discussions, and formal end-of-year performance reviews.
  • Activated 5G NR at 2 major venues (Gillette Stadium, Xfinity Center), improving customer experience and unlocking additional revenue opportunities.
Verizon Leadership Development Program 06/2016 – 06/2019
Verizon · Boston, MA

Background

I'm a Staff Technical Program Manager (MBA, APM, POPM) based in the Boston MA area with 10+ years of end-to-end program ownership across 5G infrastructure, cloud platforms, and hardware/software systems. I've owned an $8.38B broadband program from concept through launch and thrive in the ambiguous early stages where the path forward has to be built, not followed.

I lead through influence, not authority. My work spans matrixed engineering organizations where getting things done means building trust, surfacing the right signal, and making complex tradeoffs visible to leadership. I leverage AI and automation (LLMs, agent pipelines, data integrations) to multiply my capacity and bring that same mindset to every program I run.

UMass Amherst CS Engineering grad. Outside of work I build tools. The projects on this page grew out of real problems I wanted solved.
