Field CTO with 18 years of enterprise software experience. I step into the hardest role in the room — before it's defined, before it's working — and leave the organization more capable. I span technical depth and commercial outcomes: owning the selling narrative, driving pre-sales, and shipping code.
Design co-sell architectures that make partners proactively recommend your solution
Map legacy data patterns to modern storage, validate with partner engineers, and structure incentives so the partner sells for you.
Find and fix the cross-team integration failures nobody owns
Surface the issues that fall between teams — broken handoffs, untested paths, silent failures — and make the system work end-to-end.
Take point on high-stakes enterprise escalations on architecture and security
Step into live security and architecture reviews, earn the trust of skeptical principal engineers by understanding their concerns first, then showing how the solution addresses them.
Lead technically complex platform components from concept to general availability
Write production code alongside the strongest engineers on the team — and they trust the result.
Drive enterprise technical evaluations end-to-end
Parse legacy codebases, analyze workloads, run characterization tests, and generate modernized replicas to win the engagement.
Close perception gaps in strategic partnerships by building what's missing
Build reference implementations from scratch, automate to scale them, and prove migration speed at the volumes that matter.
"I don't know of anyone else at this company who can span the levels of organization the way he does — from delivery leadership of our biggest account down to working on the code that underpins nearly every future batch workload going into production."
