A First-Principles Approach to Technology Leadership
Great products aren't built by chance. They are the result of sound strategy, resilient culture, and a deep understanding of the technology that powers them. The difference between a functional product and a successful business lies in the first principles that guide its creation.
As a Fractional CTO and technology consultant with over 25 years of experience, I partner with organizations to navigate their most complex challenges—from scaling a V1 product to fostering a mature engineering culture and implementing a pragmatic AI strategy.
My approach is simple: focus on the fundamentals that create lasting value, cut through the hype, and build systems that are as robust and scalable as the teams that run them.
