Current Job Duration: 6 yrs 5 mos (until March 2026)

HEADLINE:
Technical Director & Distinguished Engineer at NVIDIA

PERSONAL SUMMARY:
As Director of Data Center Cooling and Infrastructure at NVIDIA, I lead a world-class team pushing the boundaries of thermal design, energy efficiency, and next-gen cooling technologies — from advanced liquid cooling systems to digital twin modeling for AI workloads.

With over two decades of experience across engineering, deployment, and technical leadership, I bring a strategic mindset to the complex challenges of modern data centers. Whether working with hyperscalers, ODMs, or internal R&D, I focus on turning cutting-edge innovation into scalable, sustainable infrastructure — maximizing performance while minimizing environmental impact.

Outside of NVIDIA, I apply the same hands-on, results-driven approach to real estate development and investment strategy. I thrive at the intersection of technology and execution, where bold ideas meet practical outcomes.

Let’s connect if you’re working on the future of AI infrastructure, sustainability, or simply want to trade ideas on making big visions real.
