Engineering Leader · 15 years · Early-stage startups · AI advocate
I build fast-moving engineering teams at early-stage companies. Fifteen years of wearing every hat — from hands-on code to org design — means I know what "good" looks like at every stage.
Currently championing Claude and AI tooling adoption at Amiqus.
What I care about
🚀Early-stage instincts
Fast decisions, scrappy iteration, and knowing when to add process — and when not to.
🤖AI as a force multiplier
Adopting LLM tooling to help small teams do the work of larger ones.
🧭Systems over heroes
Paved roads, clear defaults, and delivery pipelines that just work.
