I am a hands-on Chief Technology Officer with over 16 years building products and 10 years in engineering leadership, combining deep technical fluency with product and people-first management.
At my current company I manage cross-functional engineering teams and led the delivery of a proprietary GenAI matching engine that cut portfolio build time from 78 minutes to 12 minutes and improved candidate matching speed 10x, while steering a strategic migration from legacy to SaaS.
