a Technology Leader driving innovation, effective engineering teams, and scalable solutions
I am a versatile technology executive with over two decades of experience leading teams and driving innovation across industries, including defense, mobile, and streaming video. As a seasoned Chief Technology Officer, I specialize in building high-performing engineering teams that thrive on collaboration, creativity, and delivering scalable solutions. I'm proud to have contributed to multiple patents and in my ability to align cutting-edge technology with practical applications, such as in my hobby distributing home automation integration software.
Outside of work, I am passionate about playing and listening to handpan music and photography, creative outlets that brings me joy and inspiration. I also enjoy spending time with my family and applying my technical and creative expertise to personal projects. My leadership philosophy emphasizes balancing technical excellence with human connection, fostering innovation while nurturing a harmonious and fulfilling life.
I have proven built and nurtured high-performing teams, fostering collaboration and innovation to deliver scalable, industry-leading solutions. I leverage technical expertise with a people-focused leadership style to retain top talent while driving advancements that align with business goals and industry demands.
Engineers have their own language and perspective and that doesn't always translate easily outside of the engineering team. I focus on being an organizational advocate, bridging the gap between technical talent and the rest of the company to ensure management maintains clear vision and sales and marketing have the tools to meet revenue obligations.
With 23 years of software engineering experience, I have worked with real-time military systems, massively scaled cloud systems, front-end design, and mobile development. I love mentoring groups, but am more than happy to get my hands dirty with the team.
I have worked with product leads and patent attorneys to develop and maintain a significant patent portfolio of 19 issued patents related to streaming video delivery with several more under review.
