CTO · Builder · Software Architect
Hands-on CTO and product-focused engineer. I design, build, and ship AI-powered products with real-world impact — from architecture to deployment.
I'm a hands-on CTO. I own the parts most people split in two — the technical strategy and the system that has to deliver it. Architecture, the hard calls, and the build, end to end.
I think in products, not just systems. What to build, what to cut, and in what order matters as much as how it's engineered — so I'm as useful on roadmap and product direction as on the architecture underneath it.
I've done this at the sharp end of growth: founding engineer at a startup that went from zero to $100M+ raised in under three years. I know what a system needs to survive that curve — and what a product needs to earn it.
I lead small enough to stay close to the code, and senior enough to make the calls that decide whether a system scales or stalls. That combination is rarer than it should be — it's what I bring to a team.
For founders and teams who need someone who can shape the product, own the architecture, and still open the editor. Where I plug in.
Own the tech vision: architecture, roadmap, standards, and the hard calls. Senior leadership embedded with your team, sized to what you actually need.
What to build, what to cut, and in what order. I help shape product direction and the path from first version to product-market fit — with engineering reality baked in, not bolted on.
Event-driven microservices, data modeling across SQL and NoSQL, real-time pipelines. Systems designed for scale, observability, and reliability from day one.
Take AI from demo to dependable product: data systems, scoring and analysis pipelines, intelligent automation that holds up in production — not just in a notebook.
When you need senior hands on the critical path, not just advice on a slide. I architect and build the parts that decide whether you ship — embedded with your team or out ahead of it.
Audit an existing system or team, find what breaks at 10×, and chart the path forward. Honest assessment, concrete plan, no theater.
No hard pitch. Tell me what you're building — over a coffee, virtual or real — and I'll tell you honestly how I'd help, and whether I'm even the right person for it.
