About

5 exits. 20 years. Still doing the work.

Yammer → $1.2B Microsoft acquisition. Nextdoor → IPO. a16z Speedrun SR005. I've been on the inside of the decisions that determine whether a company scales or stalls — and now I bring that to founders who need it most.

PHILOSOPHY

Be curious, not judgmental. Every system has context, every decision has tradeoffs, and understanding the "why" matters more than simply knowing the "what."

There is no spoon. The limits we perceive are often self-imposed. What feels impossible today becomes standard tomorrow through repetition and learning.

A complex recursive system seeking meaning. Someone who cares that the gear engages and that the switches lock. Details matter because people rely on them.

Focus

I believe in building systems that matter—infrastructure that scales, teams that thrive, and products that endure. Engineering is about understanding the problem space deeply, making deliberate trade-offs, and building for the long term.

LET'S WORK TOGETHER

I work with a small number of founders and companies at a time. Advisory, fractional CTO engagements, and strategic partnerships — for teams where the technical decisions actually matter.
