I'm a software engineering leader with a focus on scale, organizational excellence, and cultural transformation. I'm currently leading software development at MacStadium, a cloud services provider specialized in Mac hardware, with a kube-native virtualization product we call Orka.I have over 15 years of experience helping to raise the bar in engineering teams all over the US, and worldwide in places like Poland, the Philippines, the Ukraine, and China. I've socialized best practices in version control, build and release management, testing, and architecture everywhere I go.At Wikia (now Fandom), a top 20 US site, I transformed a broken search functionality that served 10% of its page views from a major problem to best-in-class relevance and performance. This delivered business value by improving user engagement, and removing issues resulting in site abandonment.As a founding member of Lookout's enterprise backend team, I proudly pushed the button on our successful GA deploy. During my time at Lookout I had a key role in architecture and leading the build-out of an SOA designed for high scale and enterprise-level uptime requirements.At GE I led a team working to build a high-scale, highly configurable multi-tenant platform for the enforcement of policies before cloud compliance becomes a problem. We used and socialized novel technologies that helped to influence modern best practices at one of the world's oldest technology companies.At UserTesting, I helped a great company find a new inflection point in its business by focusing on software architecture, infrastructure, strategy, and scale. The processes I introduced anticipated and facilitated a successful IPO in November 2020.At Vultr, I scaled an engineering organization from 15 to 50, helping to modernize and expand the capabilities and product line of an independent cloud provider.I'm a restless guy who loves solving problems, and likes to know how everything works.
