How I help
Build the engineering organization your company needs next.
Make execution more predictable
Turn company priorities into clear ownership, sound decisions, and a delivery system that produces meaningful outcomes—not just activity.
Navigate critical technology decisions
Bring business context to architecture, platform, operational, and AI choices—balancing near-term growth with the foundations the company will need next.
Ways to work together
Executive leadership shaped around the challenge.
Every company reaches moments when engineering decisions carry consequences far beyond the technology itself. I work alongside founders and leadership teams to create clarity, strengthen the organization, and turn strategy into execution.
Engagements are tailored to the company’s stage, leadership needs, and the outcomes that matter most—from a focused assessment to ongoing fractional or interim leadership.

Leadership experience from startup to enterprise scale.
Most recently, I led a multi-team Confluence Cloud engineering organization at Atlassian through managers and principal architects. My scope crossed performance, platform, CI/CD, developer productivity, APIs, ecosystem, cost efficiency, and organizational design.
Earlier, I built engineering teams and products from the ground up—as a startup CTO, a hands-on technical leader, and an engineering manager responsible for high-scale systems and customer-critical products.
