Building Teams, Products & Systems

I’m a Technical Leader, Engineering Manager, and Software Engineer with 15+ years of experience building web products, leading engineering teams, and turning complex technical challenges into practical solutions.

During four years at HubSpot, I led and mentored engineers while working at the intersection of technology, product, and business. Today, I’m especially interested in helping companies build better products, improve engineering efficiency, and create practical value with AI and modern technologies.

I’m currently open to engineering leadership roles, consulting engagements, and freelance projects. Whether you’re building a product, scaling a team, modernizing a platform, or exploring AI, let’s talk.

Have a technical challenge or project in mind?

Let’s talk about it. I offer a free 30-minute initial consultation.

The Genesis

Shipped the bare essentials: a minimalist header, basic posts, and a smug 100 on Lighthouse. Enjoy this pristine moment of engineering perfection, because chaos is right around the corner.
