What I Bring to the Table
0-to-1 and Beyond
Took Autojuris from side project to GA on the Microsoft Marketplace in under 4 months. 3 products shipped from zero to production.
AI in Production
3 law firm design partners validating AI document intelligence workflows. 150 users on Marine Tactical Trainer with Corps-wide evaluation underway. I build AI products that are production-ready, not demo-ready.
Teams That Ship
Coordinated 25 engineers across 4 teams. Filled 10+ roles in 12 months. Built hiring pipelines and interview processes from scratch. Led 200+ personnel in Marine Corps operations.
Still an Engineer
Active side projects with real users: Marine Tactical Trainer (150 users), Rock Recipes (~100 users). I stay hands-on in TypeScript/React, Python, and cloud-native architectures. Leadership doesn't mean leaving the codebase behind.

How I Might Help
I'm Director of Software Engineering at Verisma — and I love it. Outside the day job, I make time for speaking & panels, advising AI-forward teams, and mentoring engineering leaders. Tell me what you're working on and I'll show you where I might fit.
Let's Connect
Always glad to talk engineering leadership, AI-native development, and building teams that ship. If you're working on something interesting, I'd love to hear about it.
