πŸ““About me

I'm a mission-driven executive engineering leader with a proven track record of building, scaling and leading world-class engineering teams. With a deep technical background delivering innovative software, robust scalable architecture, and high-quality solutions. I'm passionate about crafting, executing and aligning technical vision, strategy and roadmap to meet business objectives. I focus on delivering quality products in a timely and effective manner using data-informed solutions. I’m deeply committed to building cultures that reward ownership, agency, and continuous learning. I’ve led multiple fast-growing teams, mentored product and engineering leaders and created environments where innovation and pragmatism go hand in hand. My experience spans B2B and B2C SaaS, product-led growth, and distributed teams. Lately, I’ve been especially energized by the role AI plays in shaping product experiencesβ€”and how it changes the expectations we set for product and engineering organizations. Always happy to connect with founders, technical leaders, and operators who are scaling ambitious software companies and care about doing it well.

I've been fortunate throughout my career (been through multiple acquisitions, worked at companies from small 3 person startup to large, multiple thousand companies) and I want to share my experience and hopefully help others lean from them.
