About

I build technical products that drive business outcomes. Started coding medical imaging systems, pivoted to founding PageLines—grew it to power over 1M websites with 67K paying customers. Learned that great technology means nothing without distribution, so I got good at marketing, growth, and building systems that sell themselves. For the past 15 years, I've led engineering and product teams from 3 to 60+ people across SaaS, AI, and analytics platforms. I've architected systems processing hundreds of millions of daily events, managed P&Ls up to $12M, and worked directly with Fortune 500 technical buyers. In 2026 I'm focused on growth/GTM and automation engineering as AI is poised to disrupt how people buy and sell products. What I'm good at: - Scaling engineering teams and establishing delivery frameworks - Product architecture for high-availability systems - Technical marketing and product-led growth - Translating between engineers and executives
