SVP Engineering at PlanetScale
I lead and build teams and organizations to create and maintain reliable and scalable internet infrastructure. My career spans 8 startups, ranging from the 8 person early team, building the entire technology stack from scratch, through two IPOs, and scaling the organization. I've built datacenter and cloud infrastructure, hiring and mentoring the teams that design, scale and maintain that infrastructure. I've scaled applications through periods of hypergrowth, and helped build the engineering culture and process to handle and adapt to all the technical and team challenges that come with quickly growing critical systems. I'm open to Advisor roles, if your team could benefit from any of my experience or expertise, I'd love to have a conversation.
