I build companies, lead engineering teams and turn business goals into technology decisions. I started as a developer and still enjoy writing code, especially for my own products.

My focus as a CTO: people, technology and delivery.
Connect technical decisions to business priorities. Shape architecture, evaluate trade-offs and set a practical direction for the product.
Architecture · Technical direction
Hire and develop engineers, structure teams and build clear ownership. Help people grow into more complex work and greater responsibility.
Hiring · Mentoring · Team structure
Work with founders, clients, marketing and design to set priorities, make trade-offs and deliver reliably from idea through release.
Planning · Cross-team collaboration
Alongside my leadership work, I design and build my own applications. It keeps me close to the craft I started with.
