About

I build engineering organizations that scale—from zero to teams that deliver at an enterprise level. What I do: I specialize in that critical inflection point—when companies grow from small engineering teams to hundreds. That's where chaos meets opportunity, and where the right leadership makes all the difference. I build the systems, processes, and culture that let teams scale without losing their soul. My approach is simple: keep processes minimalistic, human-centric, and effective. No rigid bureaucracy, no chaos. Just clarity about the "why" behind every change, and the leadership to guide teams through transformation without breaking what already works. What I've built: → Scaled engineering organizations from zero to enterprise-level operations → Founded two startups as CTO, building products and teams from scratch → Led high-load systems serving billions of requests at scale → Drove AI adoption across engineering operations → Took a hands-on engineering role to stay connected to the craft → Developed multiple engineering managers and team leads through structured growth programs I lead with energy and clarity. People tell me I'm charismatic—I think I just care about helping teams understand where we're going and why it matters. What I'm looking for: I'm open to new opportunities where I can bring this experience to bear. If you're scaling an engineering organization, transitioning from startup to growth stage, or building something that needs strong technical leadership with a human touch—let's talk.
