Let's transform your vision into a successful digital product.I work directly with founders and corporate stakeholders—those driving growth and change—to validate that new products meet real customer needs, are high-quality, and have a positive ROI.With three decades of experience and eight startups under my belt, I’ve mastered the art of building scalable software, leading high-performance dev teams, and leveraging modern tools like the cloud and AI to foster disruptive innovation. I also bring a deep understanding of marketing technology, from automation to analytics, ensuring that your product is poised to grow successfully.If you’re ready to turn your idea into reality, let’s connect.The slightly longer version:I’ve been an entrepreneur for most of my life, starting my first business when I was a kid—a lottery that got me expelled from the fifth grade. My professional career started nearly thirty years ago as a freelance software developer. What began as a coding gig has evolved into an advisory practice where I guide startup founders and business stakeholders through the complex journey of bringing new digital products to market.During that time, I’ve been fortunate to work with businesses of all sizes and stages, across a range of industries, from early-stage tech startups to enterprise brands—and most everything in between. I’d also go on to found or cofound eight startups, selling two and seeing two others continue on successfully.Together, this has all given me a unique perspective on what works and, perhaps more importantly, what doesn’t. In addition to my successes, I’ve made countless mistakes and learned some important lessons the hard way. Through a well-refined process developed from that experience, I’m able to short-circuit the learning curve and remove much of the risk that comes with bringing new products to market.When I’m not working, you’ll find me somewhere on a mountain trail, pushing the limits as a long-distance trail runner. Fitness and wellness are things that I passionately embrace and strongly believe to be crucially important to the success of every entrepreneur.Other odd jobs I’ve had along the way: EMT, mountain guide, hostel manager, teacher, cook, fabricator, and snake handler (yes, really).Areas of expertise: Software engineering and architecture, solutions architecture, AI, cloud computing, Agile methodologies, technical product management, DevOps, marketing automation, advanced analytics, growth hacking, DesignOps.
