What I'm looking for

I seek leadership roles where I can scale engineering teams and platforms, drive product-led growth, implement robust delivery practices, and mentor engineers in a collaborative, experimentation-focused environment.

Technology is my craft. People are my passion.

Over 15 years building and scaling digital products — from writing code to leading engineering teams. I've learned that the real leverage isn't in the tech stack. It's in making the right decisions at the right time.

Today I focus on what matters most to founders and investors: turning technical complexity into product clarity, applying AI practically —not as a buzzword, but as a growth lever— and building engineering cultures that scale without breaking.

As CTO at Venturest I lead the technology and product strategy of a company actively transforming how startups grow. Outside Venturest, I advise scale-ups on product & tech strategy.
