Innovation & Modernization 
I’m building candidate.fyi - the AI coordination engine modernizing how companies hire.
Scheduling interviews is a huge part of what we do, but it’s just the start. We’re building the infrastructure that supports seamless coordination across the hiring process, empowering teams to focus on high-impact moments with candidates.
Before this, I led engineering teams and built software used by millions. But I always wanted to start something of my own - something that tackled a problem with real human impact.
Hiring always stood out to me. I’ve hired dozens of people over the years, and I’ve seen firsthand how important the interview process is - where impressions are formed, decisions are made, and careers can change. It’s one of the most critical moments for both candidates and employers - and yet, it’s often where things break down.
So in 2022, I left my job - mortgage in hand, two kids at home (now three) - to launch a startup with my brother. We went all in.
Since then, we’ve grown candidate.fyi into the platform powering the hiring experience for teams at Discord, Intercom, GoPro, Ballys, and more. We’ve out-shipped companies 10x our size - and earned every customer along the way.
I’m obsessed with customer experience. I still run onboarding calls myself, listen to every pain point, and make sure we ship the best product possible.
We’re still early - but we’re building something big. 
As a dynamic engineering leader, I have a proven track record of designing and implementing forward-thinking technologies, processes, and people development programs that drive continuous innovation and deliver measurable business results.
I specialize in building high-performance teams that collaborate seamlessly across functions, and I pride myself on forging strong, strategic relationships with key stakeholders to execute complex solutions successfully.
My focus is on driving initiatives that enhance infrastructure scalability, enabling organizations to support exponential growth while optimizing systems and network operations for maximum efficiency.
By aligning technological advancements with organizational objectives, I ensure that both technical excellence and business agility are achieved, positioning companies for sustained success in an ever-evolving landscape.
