Background
About Me
I'm a hands-on CTO who leads from the front — setting technical vision, building high-performing teams, and personally validating the architectures that underpin our products. Over 12+ years I've scaled engineering orgs, eliminated six-figure infrastructure costs, and shipped AI-powered products that opened new revenue streams.
I believe the best technology leaders never lose touch with the craft. Whether it's reviewing a pull request, prototyping a new RAG pipeline, or aligning the roadmap with investor priorities — I stay close to every layer of the stack.
