Senior Engineering Manager / Fanatics Betting & Gaming

Engineering leadership where reliability, scale, and execution matter.

Senior Engineering Manager with 20+ years across architecture, platform modernization, and multi-team execution — focused on making complex systems easier to operate, improve, and trust.

I’m most useful where the technical problem and the organizational problem are tangled together: shared platforms, reliability, release confidence, cross-team ownership, and the operating models that keep delivery from turning into theater.

DB Platform strategy / delivery systems / engineering leadership
Scope Multi-team leadership across sportsbook content platforms, CMS, and shared services
Reliability 200+ production monitors, SLOs, load testing, and incident-response maturity
Execution Release governance, CI/CD, rollback automation, and safer delivery systems
Selected impact

Concrete operating improvements, not résumé fog.

The useful signal is not just the title. It is the pattern: clearer ownership, safer releases, stronger reliability, and teams that can move without guessing.

01

Led teams supporting content delivery, CMS, and shared platform services across sportsbook and retail web/mobile experiences.

Leadership profile

Strategy, operations, and execution in one lane.

I’m at my best in roles that require business alignment, systems thinking, and calm delivery leadership at the same time.

Strategic leadership

I help senior leaders turn broad priorities into engineering plans, operating models, and technical decisions that can actually hold under growth.

  • Translate business needs into technical direction
  • Shape platform strategy and shared-service governance
  • Create clarity in high-ambiguity environments

Operational scale

My bias is toward systems that improve reliability, release confidence, and organizational efficiency without becoming process theater.

  • Observability, SLOs, and operational ownership
  • Release governance, CI/CD, and rollback safety
  • Higher execution quality with less friction

Team and platform building

I build the structures that let teams contribute safely, move faster, and maintain credibility with both leadership and one another.

  • Mentorship from early-career through senior staff
  • Cross-functional alignment across product and platform groups
  • Standards that strengthen both speed and durability
Selected experience

Current leadership first. Broader trajectory behind it.

The through-line is consistent: stronger operating models, more reliable platforms, and teams that execute with better judgment.
