I’m an engineering executive who likes the messy middle: the point where product ambition, constraints, architecture, and people collide.
Over the last decade in digital health, I’ve led teams through growth by designing scalable systems, improving quality and reliability, and building execution muscle across engineering and product. More recently, I’ve been driving practical AI adoption – both in the product and in how teams build it – while navigating the realities of compliance, security, and risk.
I also advise and mentor founders and leadership teams at Berkeley SkyDeck on strategy, architecture, hiring, and scaling execution.
If you’re building a product that needs to be trusted (health, fintech, regulated B2B), I’m happy to compare notes.
