Technical leader.
Builder. Architect.
20+ years building software. 8 years as CTO and CPO. I bring the full stack, from cloud infrastructure to shipping product, without the overhead of a team you do not need yet.
What I do
Three ways I can
help your business.
Whether you need something built from scratch, your systems modernized, or technical leadership to get a team unstuck, I have done it across industries and at every stage of growth.
Build
Full-stack & web development
From greenfield web applications to complex multi-tenant SaaS platforms, I design and ship production-ready software end-to-end.
Automate
AI integration & workflow automation
I build automation and AI integrations that remove manual work and run reliably in production.
Architect
Infrastructure, DevOps & consulting
Cloud infrastructure, DevOps, and fractional technical leadership when you need it.
About
The person
behind the work.
For 8 years I served as CTO and CPO at Spark RE Technologies, a real estate SaaS platform I co-founded. In that time I wore the typical hats a technical leader wears at a growing software company: building and scaling the engineering team, defining architecture, shipping product, managing infrastructure, establishing development processes, and working closely with the rest of the leadership team on strategy. Together we scaled the organization to over 45 people, raised a $6.3M CAD Series A, and grew annual revenue past $5M. When the time came to step back from the executive seat, I returned to what I have always loved most: hands-on building with a touch of UI/UX design.
Before Spark, I was Director of Technology at Intergalactic Agency, where I introduced DevOps practices and cloud infrastructure that fundamentally changed how the team built and shipped software. I led technical strategy and scoping across a range of large-scale projects, while staying hands-on as a developer throughout.
I work across the full stack and across industries. I use AI tooling as a core part of my process, not as a shortcut, but as a force multiplier that lets me take on work that would otherwise require a larger team. If you need someone who can think at the architecture level and still write the code, that is exactly what I do.
