We're used to change.
I build bleeding-edge AI systems, ship products, and lead technical teams. Not from a whiteboard — from production. Been doing this since the early days. Still out front.
What I Do
Production AI systems — not demos, not proofs of concept. Distributed GPU compute, voice agents, speech synthesis, real-time inference pipelines. Running now, serving real users.
Systems that scale and don't fall over at 3am. Linux, networking, cloud, on-prem, hybrid — whatever the problem needs. Built ISPs, healthcare platforms, enterprise infrastructure. I architect it and I build it.
From zero to shipped. iOS apps, SaaS platforms, developer tools. I've been the CTO, the founder, the one writing code at midnight because the deadline is real. Strategy and execution, same person.
About
I've been in tech since the early days — before the web was a thing, before Linux hit 1.0. Founded an ISP, led engineering for healthcare systems, built voice AI platforms from scratch.
Most people with my years in the industry are managing managers. I'm still writing code, still deploying infrastructure, still putting products in people's hands. The bleeding edge isn't a buzzword for me — it's where I live.
I build things that work. If you need a technical leader who can go from architecture diagram to production deployment in the same week, that's what I do.
Built an internet service provider from the ground up. Networking, infrastructure, operations — the whole stack before "full stack" was a term.
Led engineering teams across healthcare, telecom, and enterprise infrastructure. HIPAA, HL7, the systems where failure isn't an option.
Building production AI infrastructure, voice agent platforms, and shipping apps. Founder of ScrappyLabs. Still in the code. Still out front.
Let's Talk
Whether you need a fractional CTO, a technical architect to untangle a mess, or someone who can actually ship an AI system — let's talk.
