What I do:

I build and run engineering teams while staying in the code. Most recently I was a co-founder and CTO, building the engineering function from zero: hiring the team, setting the delivery lifecycle and the standards, and shipping the product.

Now I'm looking to lead an engineering team inside a larger product organization. Somewhere the habits of a lean startup, small teams and high ownership, compound at bigger scale.

Before that I ran a development agency for nearly seven years, serving 20+ clients across nonprofit, education, healthcare, and government, and grew from engineer to lead at a university. 8+ years of hands-on development across TypeScript, Node, React, Python, PostgreSQL, and AWS. Each role has its own page.

Who I am:

I'm a pragmatic builder who listens first, then executes. People often tell me I bring clarity and momentum by focusing on what truly matters and cutting through noise. I set the bar for a team, then hold it alongside them: I still review code, prototype the risky decisions, and take the call when production breaks.

If you're hiring an engineering manager who can hire, mentor, and ship, or you want CTO-level guidance on an early technical decision, I'm your guy.

Let's talk.
