About

Software is a vehicle for change and a means of expressing human need in a way machines understand. I believe in bringing great solutions to every problem and keeping the human element of products at the forefront of software architecture and development. As the driving force behind a wide range of software ventures—from mobile apps and streaming media platforms to advanced analytics and experimental instrumentation—I bring a rare combination of hands-on technical expertise and strategic vision. I lead the design and development of systems that don’t just solve problems—they create new possibilities, from real-time crash detection to robust data collection frameworks. Known for translating complex challenges into elegant, scalable solutions, I also provide technical and business leadership that empowers teams to deliver their best work. If you're building the next big thing in Seattle, you want me leading the engineering charge.
