What I'm looking for

I'm looking to lead product and R&D organizations building scalable cybersecurity, SaaS, or AI-enabled systems, taking products from early concepts to reliable production outcomes while growing strong engineering teams.

I've built cybersecurity and SaaS products from inception through production, including LogDog's cloud accounts security platform, which reached approximately 3M app downloads and 300K MAU.

At Guesty, I led a development group of five teams, driving roadmap execution, AI workflow adoption, and operational improvements that reduced incidents by about 70% and support tickets by about 60%.

At WalkMe, I led platform development and helped refactor a monolith into microservices, contributing to approximately 90% fewer incidents, 99.99% uptime, and p95 latency below 200 ms. I also reduced customer-facing support tickets by about 95%.

Most recently, I founded and architected an independent Mobile Threat Defense product for iOS and Android, owning everything from native protection and enterprise codebase delivery to product strategy and go-to-market.
