Technical leadership that has done the job before
I co-founded an interactive live-streaming platform, wrote its first line of code, set its architecture, and led engineering for six years — growing the team from three people to around fifty and steering it through an acquisition.
That means I can step in and own the technical side of a company: the architecture, the team, the standards, and the judgement calls that decide whether a product scales or stalls.
Where it helps
- Founders without a technical co-founder who need someone to own architecture and early hiring, and to translate product goals into a system that can grow.
- Scaling teams that have outgrown their original setup and need structure — clear boundaries, testing, CI/CD, and a hiring bar — before things grind to a halt.
- Companies in transition — a departure, a pivot, an integration after an acquisition — that need a steady, experienced hand on engineering for a defined period.
How I work
The architecture and the team mirror each other, so I work on both at once: simple, reversible designs and a team that can keep shipping safely as it grows. I keep decisions visible and explained, and I stay hands-on enough that my advice is grounded in the real codebase.
