United StatesWhat I'm looking for
I am an engineering executive with 20+ years building and operating customer-facing and internal platforms at scale, focused on aligning engineering execution with business goals.
At Basepaws I led an 11-person organization, modernized stacks to TypeScript/React/Next.js, and delivered over $320K in annualized cloud cost savings while halving customer-impacting incidents.
Previously I led product and developer-focused teams at Lob, delivering new commercial products tied to $23M projected revenue, and directed a cloud modernization at ScanData that supported hundreds of millions of parcels and accelerated onboarding timelines dramatically.
I am a hands-on leader who prioritizes reliability, cost control, security and post-acquisition integration while mentoring teams, driving delivery velocity, and partnering with product and sales to achieve measurable business outcomes.
