What I'm looking for

Seeking a Director role in a high-consequence Series D+ startup. I bring 30 years of grit to scale engineering orgs, lead elite global squads, build engineers, and implement agentic AI workflows. I prioritize technical stewardship and reliability over chaos to drive measurable business outcomes.

I’ve worked as a software engineer through logistics, travel tech, and fintech. My passion always comes back to mentorship. I see the power of AI and have the restraint to know when to use it and when not to. I can work through budgets, keep my team happy, and even kick out a few JIRA tickets along the way, all without losing my sanity.
