After selling HiddenLevers to Orion, I brought the innovative risk technology we developed to the entire Orion ecosystem.

Founder of HiddenLevers, which brought portfolio stress testing tools and analytics to investment advisors. We helped financial advisors answer questions like, "What happens to my portfolio if... oil prices spike? Or home prices start to fall? Or AI increases unemployment?"I led HiddenLevers to compound annual growth over 60% for a decade, and at the time.

BEA's acquisition by Oracle led me to the Oracle A-Team, where I continued in sales engineering support for major enterprise engagements (8 figure deals with Fortune 500 clients). I became very accustomed to doing high stakes demos, and building in public, at times writing code while on a projector in front of a dozen engineers!I also did three years of.

My time at AT&T comprised years two and three of my time spent doing contract consulting work beyond my day job.I met some gifted (and under-employed) engineers at AT&T who I would later employ fractionally at HiddenLevers.

I built ITEM fractionally while employed at BEA/Oracle. I was early with the idea of using incentives to help reward business travelers to spend carefully on travel - back in 2005 Expensify was still three years away!I came close to selling this startup to a company in the space (Runzheimer International), but that deal died as the economic environment.

I was part of sales engineering, as part of a sales engineering SWAT team that jumped in to save deals or win competitive bake-offs against the competition.

Chief Architect of DB Global Corporate Finance TechnologyI built credit risk management and related systems to help manage multi-billion dollar loan portfolios, and later became the Architect for a global team of 100+.I held that role despite being a contractor (not a full-time employee) - on Wall St in that era, it was common to use high value consultants.

Learned some early lessons from the dot com bust. We went from selling SmartWorkGroups for roughly 120k in cash and 1m in stock, and thinking we could rent a penthouse in Manhattan (glad I didn't pull the trigger on that!) - to my stock being worth $350 in a down round buyout of the shares.A valuable lesson in startup economics. I came to value cash.

Founded SmartWorkgroups and ran it til we were acquired by Intralinks in July 2000. Our team ended up building the core of the next generation platform for Intralinks, the first based on modern web technologies.
