28+ years building software across domains that couldn't be more different —
flight control systems at BAE Systems, AR headsets at DAQRI, hyperloop vehicles at Virgin,
and enterprise platforms serving global sales teams. I shipped several top‑10 mobile applications
in their day, and learned what it means to build for millions of people at once.
Today I lead engineering and product at
Seismic,
focused on the platform that helps modern sales organizations work smarter.
The breadth of that journey shapes every decision I make: technically rigorous,
product‑minded, and always oriented toward real‑world impact.

Currently
Leading engineering and product at Seismic — building the platform sales teams depend on.
Playing table tennis whenever possible — it's the best sport that most people overlook.
Gaming in the margins — the best way to think without thinking.
Advisory
28 years of building and leading engineering across defense, consumer, AR, transportation,
health-tech, and enterprise SaaS. I've hired teams from zero, shipped hardware and software
products at every scale, and navigated the organizational architecture of industries most
technologists never cross into.
I'm available for board advisory roles, fractional CTO/CPO engagements, and technical
due diligence. If you need someone who can evaluate both the technology and the team
building it, across domains, I can help.
Fractional CTO / CPOStrategic technical leadership for startups and growth-stage companies that need senior engineering direction without a full-time hire.
Board AdvisoryCross-industry technical perspective for boards evaluating product strategy, AI adoption, team structure, or build-vs-buy decisions.
Technical Due DiligenceDeep-dive evaluation of engineering organizations, codebases, and infrastructure for investors, acquirers, or executive teams.
Evaluating engineering teams, navigating build-vs-buy, and the structural signals
that predict whether an organization can ship. On what boards and founders should
actually be asking about their technology.
A four-node Proxmox cluster, a three-layer AI agent stack, and a passion project
Android app. On running real infrastructure at home, and why personal projects
deserve the same engineering rigor as production software.
Flight control systems, top-10 apps, global enterprise software — three careers that share
almost nothing except the engineer who built them. On what it actually takes to go deep
in an industry you didn't grow up in.
