Hands-on engineering leader.
I lead engineering teams and stay close to the architecture and code. My CTO and co-founder experience spans AI platforms, distributed systems, and SaaS built on AWS and Kubernetes.
I work where engineering strategy meets implementation: building teams, shaping architecture, and translating complex business requirements into software people can use.
At GraceAI, I lead the technical vision, architecture, product strategy, and engineering team behind an AI document platform. Before Grace, I built Signot’s software from its early days through nationwide expansion and led a remote engineering team at Atomic Infotech.
I enjoy developing engineering teams while staying directly involved in system design, simplifying complex domains, and making the technical decisions that shape the platform.
