About

Hands-on CTO with 25+ years of experience building and scaling software products globally, including 20+ years helping startups grow from early-stage through scale and acquisition. I specialize in SaaS platforms, logistics, marketing automation, and two-sided marketplaces. I lead at the intersection of technology, product, and execution—setting technical vision, evolving architectures, and building high-performing engineering organizations. I’ve directly managed and scaled teams of 150+ engineers and led companies through 100× growth, while remaining deeply involved in system design, platform decisions, and delivery discipline. I’ve led many product lifecycles from inception through growth and maturity, owning architecture, hiring, budgets, development, release, and long-term operational support. My focus is building technology organizations and platforms that scale reliably—without sacrificing speed, quality, or accountability.

In 2017 I opened OnSolve Vietnam, a fully-owned subsidiary R&D center based in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam. Starting from just myself I did everything from hiring the team of 25, finding office space and coordinating design + build out, building/coaching teams to work on concurrent projects, leading development initiatives from a technical, and in some cases, product definition. Hired and onboarded a permanent GM prior to leaving to continue this office's expansion. Fun project!
