I'm the Director of Infrastructure at a fintech firm, where I lead the teams responsible for core identity, virtualization, backups, wireless, on premises servers, and hybrid cloud environments. With more than 20 years in financial technology, I've worked across low latency trading, market data, and order routing, designing and hardening the infrastructure that keeps trading platforms fast and reliable. I started out hands on with systems and networks, and I've stayed that way. Even in a leadership role I still implement changes myself, on top of the strategy, security, and modernization work.

I was recently promoted into the director role, and with the demands that came with it, I decided the MSIT was the right move to build the strategic and analytical foundation the position asks of me. Northwestern's mix of technical depth and leadership, along with a Saturday format that fits a full time career, made it the right fit!
