Principal Architect & Engineering Leader — AI systems, platforms, and revenue-critical infrastructure
I build and scale high-leverage software systems: developer platforms, performance & reliability programs, and product infrastructure that ties directly to business outcomes. Lately: applied AI integrations, automation, and tooling that helps teams ship faster with higher quality.
Open to Staff+ / Principal / Head of Engineering / CTO-track roles (see Connect for details).

I am a principal architect and engineering leader focused on platforms, product systems, and revenue-critical infrastructure. I build the systems that turn strategy into shipped outcomes and make teams faster without sacrificing reliability. My current focus is applied AI that delivers measurable gains in real products.
I have been building systems end-to-end since the early days, from low-level computing to modern product infrastructure. That throughline shows up in how I approach architecture: start with the business goal, then design for durability and scale.
I have owned cross-functional work across product, infra, dev velocity, and reliability. My experience spans startups, growth teams, and large platforms where the systems I shipped were directly tied to revenue, retention, and trust.
On AI, I focus on execution over research: practical integrations, automation, and internal tooling that help teams ship better software. Think applied AI for real workflows, not demos.
I have deep crypto and cryptography experience rooted in security, distributed systems, and open source. That work sharpened how I think about trust, adversarial environments, and large-scale production systems.
Next, I want to partner with teams building platform leverage and AI-enabled products where execution matters: faster delivery, stronger reliability, and clear business impact.
