CTO | AI Product Leader | SaaS Systems Architect

Executive Summary

As a Technology Leader with over 25 years of experience, I help businesses innovate faster, scale smarter, and deliver powerful AI-driven products to win their market. I do this by providing a clear technical vision, a proven plan for execution, hiring and mentoring high performing engineering teams, and coding alongside them. I specialize in transforming ambitious ideas into scalable, market-ready products that drive revenue.

A Plan for Your Success

I help companies win by implementing a straightforward, three-part plan:

1

Develop & Launch 0-to-1 Products

I turn innovative concepts into market-ready SaaS and AI applications. From rapid prototyping to developing complex AI agentic systems, I provide hands-on leadership to build what's next.

2

Scale Teams & Technology

I build and lead high-performing, cross-functional engineering teams. I architect robust, multi-cloud infrastructures and modernize technology stacks to handle massive scale while finding opportunities to significantly reduce operational costs.

3

Drive Revenue & Growth

Technology should directly serve the bottom line. I architect solutions that open new revenue streams (like transforming an internal tool into a licensable SaaS platform for clients like Mattel and ESPN), help secure funding ($25M+ raised), and deliver projects that generate millions in revenue ($10M+).
