About

I am a senior software engineering leader with 20+ years of experience building AI-powered enterprise platforms, leading global engineering teams, and translating cutting-edge technologies into real-world business outcomes. At BCG X and BCG Gamma, I led multi-million-dollar digital transformation programs, architecting AI-powered solutions for Fortune 500 companies across healthcare, manufacturing, aviation, finance, and SMB sectors. My expertise spans full-stack development, Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG), Large Language Models (LLMs), cloud-native architecture, and scalable distributed systems. In addition to hands-on technical delivery, I mentor engineers, advise business leaders, and serve as an AI coach for small business owners, empowering both enterprises and entrepreneurs to adopt AI strategically. My passion lies in bridging deep technical expertise with executive-level leadership to drive innovation, operational efficiency, and long-term growth. Core Skills: AI Solutions Architecture | Generative AI | Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) | Full-Stack Engineering | Cloud Platforms (AWS, GCP, Azure) | Agile Leadership | MVP Development | Digital Transformation | Technical Strategy | Team Leadership & Mentorship | Stakeholder Management Before my time in engineering leadership, I had a career as an actor—and that experience still informs how I lead. I bring empathy, clarity, and curiosity to every conversation, whether I’m mentoring developers, collaborating with stakeholders, or navigating tough trade-offs. I’m equally comfortable in code and in conversation, and I’m proud of the fact that I’m both highly competent and (I’ve been told) fun to work with. When I’m not hard at work, you can find me practicing playing piano poorly, taking my girls to dance class, or trying (with limited success) to turn my wife into a Star Wars nerd. Wow, you're still reading this? Okay...well, I also have two bernadoodle dogs and a ragdoll cat. At this point, you might as well message me and ask for photos.
