I'm a deeply technical, hands-on engineer who has founded small companies and led multiple teams. My particular expertise is working with the business to identify high-ROI opportunities and bringing focus to engineering teams to accelerate product delivery. Specialties include:
- Rapid Prototyping: I can quickly prototype ideas leveraging LLMs, DevOps infrastructure, and other cutting-edge technologies.
- Fractional CTO: If you need a technical approach or hands-on help for your team, I can do both. I have been a CTO and Director of Engineering previously and have moved to an IC role as a Staff Developer currently.
- Accelerating Product Development: I take chaotic engineering teams and bring much-needed alignment and focus, ensuring they're working towards a unified goal and delivering products efficiently.
Some of my recent achievements include:
- Took charge of an unfocused team of 13 engineers and data scientists to launch the world’s first free machine learning-based dermatologist app in four weeks. Over 500k uses in 6 months.
- Built a document generation prototype using LLMs in two weeks, leading for it become a major development initiative across multiple teams.
- Lead product management and business development for an AI product I co-founded: aerial.ai. I led and landed deals with Amazon, Samsung, Panasonic, iRobot and others.
- Unlocking mid-market sales for a legal SaaS company by leading performance improvements that delivered 5-10x faster load times
Implementing an observability platform using OpenTelemetry to give insights on how our desktop app is performing.
I'm available for part-time engagements, either as a fractional CTO or as a hands-on technical leader. If you need help bringing clarity, focus, and rapid execution to your engineering efforts, let's connect.
