About Me

While some people specialize, I adapt. I’ve embraced every phase of my tech career, building across the stack, scaling hypergrowth companies, and mentoring teams at all levels. Whatever the challenge, I find the best path forward and make it happen

Highlights

AI Engineering Focus

I’m currently deep in prompt architecture and AI engineering initiatives, developing mental models and strategies for reliable AI agent development and LLM application design. I quit my last corporate job just before ChatGPT hit the scene and got an early start in this space.

Hypergrowth Experience

I’ve worked at three hypergrowth tech companies through multiple vital stages of funding, including two (Affirm and Patreon) that became household names during my time there.

Superpowers

Engineering Foresight

Experience at successful venture-backed companies of all stages has granted me the ability to look around corners and avoid costly mistakes. I can “right-size” solutions for the stage of my startup environment with the best of them.

Effective Translator and Mentor

I can connect the business goals to personal goals to help motivate my team and the people around me. I’ve mentored folks at all levels, and I’m world-class at translating complex technical concepts to non-stakeholders.

Pinch Hitter

I can spread my wings to data science, product, design, marketing and recruiting in a pinch, allowing me to move at lightning speed to unblock myself or my team and avoiding the need for costly wait cycles.
