Translatetech

Founder

Jul 2025Present · 10 mos · NY

  • Translate Tech helps developers, engineers, and business leaders speak the same language.
  • I teach tech teams how to clearly communicate with non-technical stakeholders, and help business leaders better understand and align with their technical teams.
  • Through short-form videos, training content, and practical communication frameworks, I share what I’ve learned from 20+ years of building software, leading engineering teams, and sitting at the executive table where so many projects break down, not because of bad ideas, but because of miscommunication.
  • I started Translate Tech to bridge that gap, so great ideas don’t get lost in translation.
