With more than 15 years of experience driving architecture and product strategy for early stage startups (OpenMarket, SightPath, VidSys) and multi-national corporations (Cisco, Digital Equipment Corporation), I have worked in numerous areas of technology, including content delivery networks (CDN), enterprise applications, video, internet commerce, security, and networking. I have provided technical leadership to high performing engineering teams (from 3 to 200) that have delivered robust systems that are highly scalable and secure.As Chief Architect, I have three important roles:- Determine product direction for the near- and mid-term to optimize value to our customers and company.- Design buildable solutions to match product requirements, allowing for the fact that requirements always change.- Drive a phased plan to deliver those solutions, starting with an MVP though multiple cycles of continued enhancement and refinement.My guiding principles are customer satisfaction, operational efficiency, and team dynamics. These lead to developing products on time, on budget, with the correct feature set, using an iterative agile process.What makes me different from my peers? I have a solid track record of delivering products, many of which have been first to market, have generated substantial revenue, have been best-in-class in the industry, and have set the company up for successful exit. Additionally, I have more than a dozen patents issued, with more pending.
Listed skills include System Architecture, Integration, Enterprise Software, Software Development, and 16 others.
