About Me
I've spent the last 15+ years building technology that solves real business problems. My journey started automating billing systems in healthcare, and has taken me through data engineering, DevOps leadership, and now to architecting AI-powered products and cloud infrastructure as a CTO.
What drives me is the intersection of innovation and pragmatic execution. I love finding elegant solutions to complex problems, whether that's designing a scalable system architecture, building a high-performing team, or helping a company navigate technical growth.
Currently, I'm focused on AI/ML product development, SaaS infrastructure optimization, and helping companies scale their technical operations. I'm a big nerd at heart, I genuinely love problem-solving, and yes, I do spend a lot of time in terminals.
I recently co-authored "Augmented, Not Replaced: AI for Research Administrators" for NCURA Magazine, exploring how AI is transforming - not eliminating - knowledge work. It's a topic I care about deeply: building technology that augments human expertise rather than replacing it.
