I’m an engineering leader who’s built teams, systems, and products from seed stage to scale—especially in fast-paced, mission-driven orgs. Over the last 20+ years, I’ve led backend overhauls, launched AI-powered platforms, shipped award-winning mobile apps, and doubled engineering teams while keeping culture intact. My sweet spot is helping organizations move from scrappy to scalable: coaching engineers, setting up lightweight processes, and ensuring performance isn’t just in the code, but in how we work together. I’ve worked across industries—fintech, ecommerce, AI, civic platforms—and speak 5 languages, which helps me build for global audiences and collaborate across cultures. I thrive in diverse, purpose-driven environments where technology is in service of something bigger. Let’s talk if you’re building something real and ambitious—and you need someone who’s been there, stayed calm, and shipped.
