Leadership Philosophy
Why I Lead the Way I Do
Most engineering orgs don't fail because of bad code. They fail because no one owns the hard things: unclear delivery standards, engineers who stay stuck, incidents with no owner, and executives who have no visibility until something breaks.
I learned this the hard way — 3 years inside a 24M-user streaming platform watching what happens when engineering scales faster than the systems around it, and 2 years in a regulated bank where one missed compliance deadline could shut down the digital product entirely.
Now I build organizations that don't need saving. I take deployment frequency from 1 to 4+ releases per sprint, reduce incidents from daily to 1 per sprint, and design org structures that scale to 50+ engineers.
I work with organizations facing scale, transformation, or complexity — where engineering leadership maturity is the constraint, not engineering talent.

AI Side Projects
Hands-on product building with agentic coding tools — shipping consumer-grade software, not just experiments, across AI-assisted development and modern iOS engineering.
My Liftlytics
Shipped iOS app built with Claude Code & OpenAI Codex
Built and shipped a SwiftUI fitness tracking app for iPhone and iPad that combines workout logging, Apple Health integration, PR detection, daily effort scoring, rewards, and progress visualization into a polished product experience.
Architected the app around offline-first local state, HealthKit sync, structured onboarding, shareable progress surfaces, and reusable theme-driven UI patterns to support a premium native experience.
Used Claude Code and OpenAI Codex as agentic coding collaborators to accelerate implementation, iteration, QA, and feature delivery while keeping the product grounded in real-world user workflows.
