Work with me

A senior technical partner when it matters most

I help fast-moving teams build platforms that don't suck, ship AI that actually works, and lead through the hard technical calls — drawing on 20+ years across Apple, Yahoo, 8×8, and a frontier AI lab.

How I can help

Three ways teams bring me in.

Fractional CTO

Senior technical leadership without a full-time hire — strategy, architecture, hiring, and rolling up my sleeves when it counts.

DevEx & Platform advisory

Make your engineers faster and happier: internal platforms, CI/CD, golden paths, and the DORA/SPACE metrics to prove it's working.

AI & automation

Ship real AI features and automate the busywork — from clean API design to production-grade LLM workflows.

What you get

  • Ship faster, with fewer fires
  • A platform your engineers actually like using
  • A clear, prioritized technical roadmap
  • AI and automation applied where they pay off
  • Senior judgment on the calls that matter
  • Knowledge that stays with your team

How it works

01

Intro call

A quick, no-pressure call to understand your goals, team, and where things hurt.

02

A focused plan

I scope an engagement to outcomes — advisory, hands-on, or a mix — with clear priorities.

03

We execute

We ship. You get momentum, and your team levels up along the way.
