Founding CTO & Full Stack Engineer with over 29 years of shipping products that matter — from startup MVPs to platforms serving millions.
Who I Am
I don't just write code — I build the technical strategy, hire the team, and ship the product.
What I Do
Strategic technical leadership for growing companies. I embed with your team to set architecture, hire engineers, and establish the processes that let you ship with confidence.
From zero to millions of users. I design systems that perform under pressure and evolve with your business — databases, APIs, infrastructure, the full picture.
React, Node, cloud infrastructure — I build the entire stack, not just the surface layer. End-to-end ownership, zero handoff gaps.
Two US patents in augmented reality and computer vision. I bring emerging tech from proof-of-concept to production-grade product.
Track Record
Since November 2008, I've led engineering for FaceCake's augmented reality commerce platform, scaling the stack to support 1M+ virtual products and millions of try-ons monthly, while leading technical partnerships with Microsoft, Disney, CHANEL, Macy's, NFL, and Visa.
From March 2002 to June 2007, I built GoApply's frontend and backend from day one, architected core database and web systems, and grew a 17-person development and network engineering team through rapid growth to acquisition by Fidelity National Title.
Managed all technical operations for 150-node LAN/WAN, administering routing, firewall, server, and messaging infrastructure across Cisco, FreeBSD, Windows NT, and Exchange environments.
Built and managed multiple 25+ person engineering, QA, DevOps, and technical support departments with modern delivery practices and end-to-end ownership from architecture through operations.
Co-authored the foundational Targeted Marketing System and Method patent, covering virtual try-on using the user's own image in digital marketing workflows.
I'm currently available for fractional CTO, founding CTO, and senior engineering engagements.
