Experience

I lead engineering teams that build reliable software in regulated and high-availability environments.

Across CTO and hands-on roles, I’ve built fintech infrastructure, developer tools, consumer web products, and health-tech services.

I focus on accessible products, maintainable systems, and teams that deliver consistently.

Achieved zero unscheduled downtime over 4 years. Manage technical relationships with Amex and Visa engineering teams, alongside product and marketing stakeholders. Focus has evolved from 50/50 code split to strategic planning with emphasis on compliance (PCI, SOC2, ISO27001), security, performance, and scalability.
