Current manager of Identity; previously led Customer & Client Data and Auth
Own Customer Identity for Rokt's transaction-time ads network, delivering real-time identity resolution at p99 <50 ms latency requirements.
Integrated Experian and other third-party data sources into the session pipeline (~6K RPS), improving identity resolution and ML signal quality and contributing to an approximate 6% YoY lift in value per transaction.
Stabilized core identity infrastructure by formalizing on-call, defining DRIs, and introducing clear operational swimlanes, reducing weekly pages by ~90% (50+ to ~5) while supporting continued traffic growth.
Led the migration from a bespoke JWT-based auth system to Auth0, enabling SSO and MFA, accelerating advertiser and client onboarding, and materially reducing auth-related production incidents.
