About
Me

engineering leader on the leading edge of AI-augmented development.


I'm an engineering leader, founder, and practitioner operating at the intersection of platform engineering and the AI-augmented future of software development. I've been a deep practitioner of agentic coding, context engineering, and multi-agent orchestration since before these terms entered the mainstream — and I believe the teams that internalize these practices today will have an unbridgeable lead tomorrow.

Currently at Omada Health, I lead the Enterprise Billing & Financial Systems engineering team through public-company readiness: hardening financial infrastructure, closing compliance gaps, and pioneering AI-first engineering workflows that have since been adopted across the organization. Prior to that, I co-founded Kickplan, an AI-native SaaS billing infrastructure platform backed by Mucker Capital — and before that, built Stellar Live from zero to 40,000 concurrent users and a $5M seed round during COVID-19.

I've been doing this for 20+ years — from founding engineer at what became Chargify (launched at TechCrunch 50, backed by Mark Cuban, acquired by SaaS Capital) to scaling Goldstar Events through a $150M+ revenue run and its acquisition by TodayTix Group. I scale companies, build teams, and ship things that last.

Deep practitioner of Lean, Dual-Track Agile, and CI/CD — from founding engineer to CTO — scaling companies from startup to $150M+ in revenue.
