Over 27 years in software engineering, including nearly 15 years in strategic leadership and architect roles at blue-chip agencies and technology companies including Razorfish, Dentsu, and most recently DigitalOcean. He has built, scaled, directed, and mentored diverse and inclusive high-performing teams and future leaders across nationwide and global scopes, united by a shared vision. He excels at building trust-based relationships with clients and stakeholders, establishing long-term vision and roadmaps, driving process and productivity improvements, and managing vendor engagement from negotiation through MSA/SOW—all while staying close to day-to-day code. With a proven track record in enterprise digital transformation as an architect for State Farm and Caterpillar, CRO platform innovation for the Insurance, Education, and Telecom sectors, and stewardship of one of the industry’s most acclaimed cloud provider control panels, there’s a non-zero chance you’ve interacted with his work.
When he isn’t working to raise all ships at Cooperate, he enjoys weightlifting, tending to his home maker space, retrogaming, and spending time with his wife, son, and their menagerie of pets. He was once judged—and awarded—in a competition by Tim Berners-Lee, the creator of the Web, in 1998.
