Builder, leader, and lifelong tinkerer.

I've spent 30+ years building software, products, teams, and engineering leaders across startups and enterprise organizations. I've led engineering at Fora Travel, Napster Enterprise, and Obsess, and worked across organizations including Microsoft, Getty Images, and SAP. My focus is turning clear technical strategy into reliable execution, scalable systems, and high-performing teams.

I write and speak about engineering leadership, AI, startups, and product execution. I taught at General Assembly and continue to mentor builders and engineering leaders through Startups & Code. I believe the best teams pair strong technical judgment with clarity, trust, and a practical bias toward shipping and learning.
