United StatesWhat I'm looking for
I’m a CTO and VP of Engineering leader focused on delivering modern platforms, scalable systems, and operational excellence. I advise enterprise and growth-stage teams on AI-enabled transformation, modernization, and execution strategies that accelerate performance and produce measurable business outcomes.
Most recently as VP Engineering / Interim CTO & CISO, I led platform and security functions while driving AI adoption and efficiency—cutting cost per loan by ~93%, achieving 100% organizational AI tool adoption, and powering 80% of new code creation through AI-assisted development. Earlier, I helped Square transition from a Ruby on Rails monolith to a service-oriented architecture with 500+ microservices, founded Cloud Foundations for AWS/GCP migration, and built platform and data infrastructure organizations to scale reliability and growth.
