Experience

20+ years building
platforms and teams

Platform scale

Built platforms serving
500+ enterprise clients

Change should be measurable.

A few examples of my work: turning engineering strategy into stronger teams, better systems, and measurable results.

100M+API requests / day

Real-time attribution at scale

Led the design of a microservices tracking and attribution engine processing millions of affiliate transactions.

40-45%of delivered code generated

Shared contracts, generated code

Introduced scaffolding and contract-based development to generate code previously written by hand. Typically 40-45% of a developer's delivered code, with less room for manual errors and inconsistencies.

~30hours saved / engineer / month

Time returned to engineering

The same scaffolding system saves approximately 30 hours of manual implementation per engineer each month, freeing time for work that needs engineering judgment.

The best engineering leaders operate at two altitudes.

Close enough to the code to know which decisions hold up under load. Far enough above it to shape the team, process, and product around the right problems.

A / 01

Build the system

Platform modernization, partner APIs, real-time attribution, operational discipline, and architecture that is ready for production.

A / 02

Build the practice

Clear ownership, repeatable delivery, useful standards, and coaching that helps technical leaders grow into wider responsibility.

A career spent building.

Engineering leadership / Professional connections

Good work starts with a conversation.
