About
I stay close to both the product decision and the code
I am a software engineer, product builder and CTO with 20 years of experience. I am most useful where product strategy meets implementation.
I like the point where an uncertain idea becomes a concrete decision — and where that decision has to survive contact with real users and production systems.
I began with telecommunications, PHP and browser automation, moved into Ruby on Rails product engineering at Qype, and spent 13 years working across product and platform concerns at Yelp.
Today, as a co-founder of Deliverists.IO, I work across company products including Quento and ChatlyBot and selected client platforms such as Swifty.
I move comfortably between founders, business stakeholders and engineers. The important part is making product and technical decisions understandable, then remaining involved enough to implement and validate them.

Work with me directly on product, architecture and technical decisions. When the work needs implementation and ongoing engineering, I bring that experience into Deliverists.IO.
